To help the software programming students of today become the manycore developers of tomorrow, Intel is introducing the Manycore Testing Lab, a development environment that allows professors and students to remotely test code scalability up to 32 cores. As part of the Intel® Academic Community, which provides parallel programming and visual computing curricula and resources to professors at more than 1,800 universities worldwide, the testing lab is available to members at no cost. A demo of the Manycore Testing Lab will be shown at the SIGSCE Intel booth (#301), March 10-13. To request login access to the Manycore Testing Lab or become a member, visit the Intel Academic Community.

At GDC Austin today, Intel announced winners of two game development contests created for new developers to demonstrate their creativity and innovation. Level Up, Intel’s annual game demo contest, selected 30 winners in three categories based on threading capabilities and optimization for Intel graphics and mobile systems. Dare to be Digital, an Intel-sponsored contest hosted by the University of Abertay Dundee, selected four winning teams that used new tools and software development techniques to create visually stunning and technically advanced games over the course of 10 weeks. More information about Intel’s game contests and software can be found at the Intel Visual Computing Developer Community.

Smartphones and emerging Mobile Internet Devices (MIDs) are giving us access to more and more of our computing applications on-the-go. As this trend continues alongside a revolution in visual computing on the desktop, people will want the same immersive experiences on their mobile devices that they get on their PC. Intel’s Clone Cloud research aims to make it possible to execute rich applications on resource-constrained mobile devices by off-loading computation to available cloud resources in nearby datacenters. The idea is to “clone” the entire set of data applications from the mobile device onto the cloud and selectively execute some operations on the clones, reintegrating results back to the mobile device. Intel’s research also seeks to make sure that as this is done, the system remains secure in the face of adversity, protects the privacy of sensitive data, and ensures critical operations are only performed by those who are authorized and that service is consistently reliable. See Clone Cloud video and Intel Research Berkeley Lab web page for more information.
