  • How the Custom Logic Continuum is Contributing to 5G Infrastructure - Intel® Chip Chat episode 701

    21/05/2020 Duration: 15min

    Ronnie Vasishta, Vice President and General Manager for the Networking and Configurable Logic Division at Intel, joins Chip Chat to discuss the critical role of programmable solutions in the delivery of network infrastructure for 5G. Vasishta joined Intel with the acquisition of eASIC in 2018 and is responsible both for running eASIC within Intel and for the wireline and wireless networking business for Intel's programmable solutions. In this interview, Vasishta and host Allyson Klein dive deep on technologies that are part of what Vasishta calls the "custom logic continuum." Vasishta talks about "structured ASICs," an intermediary between FPGAs and true ASICs with lower unit-cost and power consumption than FPGAs but faster time-to-market and lower engineering cost than true ASICs. Additionally, Vasishta highlights next-generation Intel eASIC code-named Diamond Mesa. Drawing upon generations of customer learning from both Intel and eASIC, Diamond Mesa is already seeing early adoption in 5G RAN applications

  • How Intel is changing course in the midst of a pandemic - Intel® Chip Chat episode 700

    14/05/2020 Duration: 09min

    On this episode of Chip Chat, Intel CIO Archie Deskus talks with host Allyson Klein about how Intel was able to successfully pivot its workforce while maintaining business operations. Because Intel created a Pandemic Leadership Team (PLT) following the SARS outbreak of 2002-2003, there was some preparation for half of all employees work remotely, but the speed and severity of this pandemic forced the company to innovate rapidly. The two discuss why Intel needed to make numerous changes across manufacturing, supply chain, sales and marketing, human resources and finance while supporting 100,000 remote workers worldwide and go into further details about how Intel IT was able to double VPN capacity over a single weekend.

  • Breaking Down the Hype of Cloud to Edge – Intel® Chip Chat episode 687

    06/02/2020 Duration: 17min

    Cloud to edge is much hyped as the next wave of digital transformation, and edge computing promises to remove many of the limitations of public and private cloud. But you need to have common, seamless frameworks to work at the edge, on premises, and in public cloud. Talal Alqinawi explains what Microsoft is doing to enable this and how enterprises can make cloud to edge part of their digital strategy. He goes on to explain why the time is right for enterprise edge. IT doesn’t sit in one data center, and it’s not one type of application. It is a set of connected applications and activities that have to work together. Having recognized that, many businesses have interactive applications with their clients. They must service their businesses, their clients, and even their supply chains to become one connected community. This is the intelligent edge. Talal also offers practical steps enterprises can take to get started in their cloud to edge journey. Talal Alqinawi is the Senior Director of Product Marketing

  • The Evolution of Neuromorphic Computing - Intel® Chip Chat episode 681

    06/12/2019 Duration: 12min

    Neuromorphic computing looks to the human brain and nervous system for inspiration. The brain is very good at perceiving information, learning from context, and inference. Understanding how the brain does something can inform how a computer could perform the same task. To be sure, neuromorphic computing isn’t biomimicry or about reconstructing the brain in silicon. Rather, it’s about understanding the processes and structures of neuroscience and using those insights to inform research, engineering, and technology. Those insights can help create a new generation of AI that’s better at seeing, learning, and solving problems. Mike Davies is the director of Intel’s Neuromorphic Computing Lab and a veteran neuromorphic computing engineer. He joined us to talk about neuromorphic computing, what it means to “spike” a neural network, and Intel’s Loihi, a neuromorphic research chip that contains over 130,000 “neurons.” For more about neuromorphic computing go to https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/research/neuro
