18Dec Intel Research Embraces European IT Goals
In January of this year, Intel bolstered the collaborative thread of its collaborative European research and development (R&D) initiative, and broadened its research and innovation remit up to the provision of remote services in sectors that include health, education, and government. Intel Labs Europe (ILE) “is a network organization, a new platform for Intel doing research and innovation in Europe,” says National University of Ireland professor and ILE director Martin Curley. He says ILE’s mission is to advance Intel Architecture research, development, and innovation while teaming with European stakeholders to enhance European competitiveness. Intel has set up open labs in Munich and Leixlip, Ireland, to facilitate and host participation in about 20 Framework Program 7 projects with European firms, startups, and universities. Intel’s European research encompasses such areas as nanotechnology, cloud computing, wireless communications, networking, and financial computing. In Leixlip, ILE has four wafer labs where work is ongoing in such areas as alternative circuit patterning using self assembly, memory structures employing magnetic layers, applications for carbon nanotubes in interconnect, and metal oxides research for logic applications. Curley says the Intel-European R&D collaboration has already produced the Rock Creek 48-core chip for parallel processing research and established an exascale computing research center in Paris. ILE terms its innovation agenda Digital Europe, and this is now calibrated with the European Union’s goals for an innovation-based economy and a society with better connectivity.
