Paul Steinberg (Intel)

Well - I've been working at Intel for the past 8 years; it doesn't seem possible. For most of that time, I have been involved in technical enabling in the software industry. That means I help connect software developers with Intel technology and resources. I have worked with some great companies -IBM, BEA, SUN and had a lot of fun with some really smart people. I am now working with the Intel Academic Community to help build a curriculum for new compute platforms built on many core technology. I’ll be blogging on all of these topics and other ideas as they occur to me.

Professor Wen-mei Hwu, University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign.  Common Strategies for Paralelism. It was a treat, indeed an honor, to talk with Professor Wen-mei Hwu on our recent Teach Parallel broadcast.  It was also a bit frustrating in that we really only had about 20 minutes of substantive discussion for a topic on which we could have [...]

Spring is coming on slowly here in Oregon. We are just one state shy of the Canadian border, and it is still grey and rainy, but it is warm, and new green growth is everywhere.  Scanning some of the other cities where our academic colleagues are located, I'm seeing similar springlike conditions in Moscow, Beijing, [...]

Spring comes slow and soggy to Oregon where I live.  April slogs its way to May, the rains slacken and the sun fights it way from behind grey clouds. Oregonians emerge sodden and blinking into the sunlight.  Suddenly strange, summer is here and one beautiful sunny day follows another.  A nice change for me this spring is the assumption of my [...]

As some may (not) know, Intel Software College will be in Austin Texas soon at the Supercomputing 08 conference. While the rest of Intel is out extolling the (very real) benefits of Nehalem and other innovations for HPC, we at software college will be doing a couple of very cool things to advance the goal [...]

Sequential programming is dead. So stop teaching it!

Sequential programming is dead.  So stop teaching it! This teasing diktat points out an important truth – All major manufactures of CPUs, GPUs and ASICs have moved to a many core design, yet universities and colleges are not training engineers in the parallel and concurrent disciplines needed to efficiently program on such systems. To make matters [...]
