Intel Labs has opened two new Intel Science and Technology Centers (ISTC) both headquartered at Carnegie Mellon University, Pennsylvania, US, and will focus on cloud and embedded computing research.
As part of Intel’s larger $100m programme designed to increase university research and accelerate innovation, Intel will invest $30M in the new centres over five years to increase university research and accelerate innovation in a handful of key areas.
The new centers encourage tighter collaboration between university thought leaders and Intel, and further complement previously announced ISTCs for visual computing and secure computing.
The ISTCs use open IP models to encourage further collaboration with results publically available through technical publications and open-source software releases.
The ISTC broadens Intel’s "Cloud 2015" vision with new ideas from top academic researchers, and includes research that extends and improves on Intel’s existing cloud computing initiatives.
The center combines top researchers from Carnegie Mellon University, Georgia Institute of Technology, University of California Berkeley, Princeton University, and Intel, to explore technology that will have has important future implications for the cloud.
