Justin Rattner Keynote Address from Research@Intel Day 2009.

Justin Rattner, 59, is vice president and chief technology officer (CTO). He is also an Intel Senior Fellow and head of Intel Labs. In the latter role, he directs Intel’s global research efforts in microprocessors, systems, and communications including the company’s disruptive research activity.

In 1989, Rattner was named Scientist of the Year by R&D Magazine for his leadership in parallel and distributed computer architecture. In December 1996, Rattner was featured as Person of the Week by ABC World News for his visionary work on the Department of Energy ASCI Red System, the first computer to sustain one trillion operations per second (one teraFLOPS) and the fastest computer in the world between 1996 and 2000. In 1997, Rattner was honored as one of the Computing 200, the 200 individuals having the greatest impact on the U.S. computer industry today, and subsequently profiled in the book Wizards and Their Wonders from ACM Press.

Rattner has received two Intel Achievement Awards for his work in high performance computing and advanced cluster communication architecture. He is a member of the executive committee of the Intel’s Research Council and serves as the Intel executive sponsor for Cornell University where he is a member of the External Advisory Board for the School of Engineering. Rattner is also a trustee of the Anita Borg Institute for Women and Technology.

Rattner joined Intel in 1973. He was named its first Principal Engineer in 1979 and its fourth Intel Fellow in 1988. Prior to joining Intel, Rattner held positions with Hewlett-Packard Company and Xerox Corporation. He holds B.S. and M.S. degrees from Cornell University in electrical engineering and computer science.

Intel’s invitation-only event at the Computer History Museum in Mountain View, Calif., showed off the company’s diverse research projects in areas like visual computing, health, life sciences, green-friendly technologies, and wireless, to name a few. “Intel scientists can propose research on any topic they envision a solution for,” said Manny Vara, Intel’s technology marketing director at Intel’s R&D Labs. “It can start when a scientist comes across a problem, even outside of work, and says, ‘Hey, I could do something about that.’” Intel scientists have engaged in diverse research projects from digital money to mobile antennas that provide access to cell phone services in developing regions of the world. This year’s Research@Intel Day featured more than 70 projects.
