Academic Resources

The Academic Resources located here help instructors and their students lay the foundation for successful careers in software programming and design, from development to research. There are also extremely valuable resources for the recent graduate.

If this is your first visit to the Academic Resources page the answers to the following questions may be useful to you. Click on the appropriate links to find important guidelines and instructions for these resources.

  • How do I register or tell Intel of my interest in Academic topics at the Intel® Developer Zone? Click here.
  • What is the Intel® Manycore Testing Lab and how do I get access to it? Click here.
  • How do I request a grant for using Intel Software Development Tools with the students in my classroom? Click here.
  • How can I access course materials for use in my own classrooms with my own students? Click here.
  • How do I participate in the Academic Forums? Click here.
  • Are there technical forums available to me where I can have my technical questions answered? Click here.

Why use the Intel® Manycore Testing Lab?

Bring a first-class 40 core/80 thread software development environment into your classroom. Via authorized remote access, you and your students can engage with hands-on code testing on many cores and threads to demonstrate software scaling and conduct research supporting parallelism in the classroom and the workplace. Help to prepare your students to compete in the future job markets.

Lab includes Red Hat Enterprise Linux® OS, a complete suite of Intel’s software development tools, and more.

Opto or Photon Processors0
The life of traditional processors will short in some years. Its time to concentrate on new end technologies such as photon and opto processors. These processors may perform at light speed and probabaly at zero waste of power.
