INTEL IPC 2019
Intel is hosting the annual Open Source Technology Summit (OSTS) May 14-16. What started as an internal conference in 2004 with a few dozen engineers now brings together 500 participants. This year is the most open yet, with leaders from Alibaba*, Amazon*, AT&T*, Google*, Huawei*, JD.com*, Microsoft*, MontaVista*, Red Hat*, SUSE* and Wind River* taking part in discussions of open source software that is optimized for Intel hardware and will drive the next generation of data-centric technology in areas such as containers, artificial intelligence (AI), machine learning and other cloud to edge to device workloads.
The Details: The latest contributions Intel is sharing at OSTS represent critical advances in:
Modernizing core infrastructure for uses well-suited to Intel architecture
Enhancing Intel Linux-based solutions for developers and partners: Intel’s Clear Linux* Distribution is adding Clear Linux Developer Edition, which includes a new installer and store, bringing together toolkits to give developers an operating system with all Intel hardware features already enabled. Additionally, Clear Linux usages are expanding to provide end-to-end integration and optimization for Intel hardware features and key workloads supporting the Deep Learning and Data Analytics software stacks. The performance, security, ease-of-use and customization advantages make Clear Linux a great choice for Linux developers.
Enabling new usages across automotive and industrial automation: In a world where functional safety is increasingly important, workload consolidation is both complex and critical. And with the growing reliance on software-defined systems, virtualization has never been more important. Intel is working to transform the software-defined environment to support a mix of safety critical, non-safety critical and time critical workloads to help support automotive, industrial automation and robotics uses.
With more than 15,000 software engineers, Intel invests in software and the work on standards initiatives to optimize the workload and to unlock the performance of our processors. In addition to significant contributions to the Linux kernel, Chromium OS* and OpenStack*, Intel’s leadership in the open source community drives industry advancement that fuel new models for hardware and software interaction in emerging workloads.
Intel is in a unique position to bring together key industry players to address the complexity of building for diverse architectures and workloads and enable faster deployments of new innovations at scale. Software is a key technology pillar for Intel to fully realize the advancements in architecture, process, memory, interconnect and security.
