On June 7, Intel Labs interacted with media, academia, partners and consumers at the 9th annual Research arranged by the company to review and discuss its news and highlights. Justin Rattner, the chief technology officer of the one of the world’s 50 most innovative company, unveiled more than 35 innovative research projects underway that will help transform the future of computing science.
So, Intel Labs announced an opening second Intel Science and Technology Center (ISTC) with a focus on secure computing, hosted at the University of California, Berkeley in collaboration with several other universities. More than 35 research projects from around the globe touching visual computing, security and authentication, user experience, cloud computing and more on display at annual Intel Labs research event is another highlight.
Intel Labs is also going to to release two new open source software packages: a distributed scene graph package to increase the maximum number of participants in 3-D Web applications, such as virtual worlds, by more than 20 times, and an advanced ray tracing package to accelerate the rendering of photorealistic images on Intel-based systems by 100 percent.
«The co-principal investigators from Intel and UC Berkeley will lead a talented team of researchers from across the country to address today’s most challenging problems in computer security,» said Rattner. «Forming a multidisciplinary community of Intel, faculty and graduate student researchers will lead to fundamental breakthroughs in one of the most difficult and vexing areas of computing technology.»
Over the next 5 years, The ISTC for secure computing will concentrate its research on on such areas as making personal computers safer from malware, securing mobile devices, both in terms of data protection for the individual, as well as making it safer to download data to devices, and use of third party applications. Another key area researchers will address is how to protect personal data in the Web.
