Most engineers love having a technical problem to solve. When it comes to sustainability challenges, Intel’s Yoram Hassidim is a great example, whether it’s his water recycling system he built on the roof of his home or a PC innovation that happens to change the way we use computers.

Just raising the temperature one or two degrees on the thermostat in a data center can make a difference to a company’s energy bill. But it’s not as easy as it seems. Data centers support Intel’s chip business and precise temperatures are critical for success. Alon Brauner, manager of Intel’s data centers in Israel and India, says the data center can get warmer without sacrificing performance.

In this demo with Jonathan Ross, Software Architect, Microsoft:

Bringing parallel programming to mainstream software developers is one of the main goals of Intel’s Tera-scale research program. Microsoft Visual Studio is a widely popular software development environment that can also be used for developing parallel applications to run on the SCC many-core platform.

• Visual Studio 2008 is demonstrated working together with Intel’s research SCC message passing environment.
• This allows programmers to directly take advantage of the cloud-like message passing architecture of SCC.
• Proves how easy it is for a programmer to setup a project, edit, compile and run applications that take advantage of the unique features of the experimental SCC.

This podcast is from the live webcast at the Clift Hotel in San Francisco on December 2, 2009. This demo followed Intel CTO, Justin Rattner’s opening remarks on the Single-Chip Cloud Computer, the latest Intel Labs milestone in the Intel Tera-scale Computing Research Program.

Stanford University’s Office of Technology Licensing (OTL) is one of the country’s most active offices in the field of technology transfer from university to industry. Their staff, most of whom are professionals engaged directly in licensing, manages over 2,500 active dockets.

Stanford’s OTL licensing professionals evaluate technologies that are disclosed to OTL and then develop a licensing strategy for the particular technology. Each associate is responsible for a portfolio of dockets from “cradle to grave.” The associates each have an area of technical expertise in life sciences, physical sciences or both.

The mission of Stanford University’s OTL is to promote the transfer of Stanford technology for society’s use and benefit while generating unrestricted income to support research and education.

With a passion for sustainability, Mike Breton, Intel IT Technology Evangelist, shows off some disruptive technologies and proofs of concepts for the home and office.

In this video podcast, Breton shows a comprehensive home automation system which integrates everything into a system accessible by a networked PC and other devices like the mobile phones and MIDs and PMPs (Personal Media Players). These energy management systems give instant access controls, feedback on real-time energy usage and cost, and automatted actions for lighting, security, the pool, heating and cooling, home entertainment, and even the garage door, while energy savings while providing significant energy savings.
