IT Best Practices: Intel’s silicon design engineers need significant increases in computing capacity—both on their workstations and on data center servers—to deliver each new generation of silicon chips. To meet those requirements, Intel IT conducts ongoing throughput performance tests, [See the full post…]

IT Best Practices: Silicon chip design engineers at Intel face the challenges of integrating more features into ever-shrinking silicon chips, resulting in more complex designs. The increasing design complexity creates large design workloads that have considerable memory and compute [See the full post…]

IT Best Practices: This Intel IT brief highlights the performance of workstations based on Intel Xeon processor 5600 series, demonstrating significant IT business value and IT efficiency. In Intel IT tests simulating the daily workflow of a silicon design [See the full post…]

In this video, two Intel engineers, Sudip Chahal and Shesha Krishnapura, talk about their findings in the comparison of high-end Intel Xeon processor 5500 series with the low-end ones. Sudip handled tests of the microprocessor series in enterprise tasks [See the full post…]

In this podcast, The Register’s Tim Phillips speaks with Intel’s Shesha Krishnapura about developers’ adoption of multi-core technology. Krishnapura sees that, while multi-core processors have been around for awhile, now is an especially exciting time for multi-threaded software, given the [See the full post…]

The current uptake in high performance computing means mostly good things, but it also comes with a few built-in challenges. The paradox of this particular progress is this: when you scale hardware, you oftentimes scale power consumption, right along with [See the full post…]
