Obviously, Intel has no plans to relinquish its lead in either microarchitecture and circuit design or silicon process technology and manufacturing, to which it devotes most of its $4 billion research budget. Indeed, Intel highlighted its new 90-nanometer manufacturing process technology using silicon germanium, which will be introduced when the retooled fabrication plant in Hills-borough, Oreg...

Workstation supercomputers powered by the Quad-Core Intel® Xeon® processor 5300 series enable users of ESI Group simulation-based design and optimization solutions to dramatically enhance engineering productivity and deliver higher quality designs in less time, while improving the cost-effectiveness and flexibility of the high performance computing (HPC) infrastructure. Performance Brief Quad-C...

We present a novel use of commodity graphics hardware to perform real-time image segmentation and image morphology operations. Our preliminary results show a performance increase of over 30% using an nVidia GeForce4 when compared to an implementation using Intel MMX optimized code on a 2.2 Ghz Intel P4 CPU.

Given the range of systems, tools, and techniques discussed in this collection, it appears that the editors have adopted quite a broad definition of the notion of 'intelligence.' Although the book contains descriptions of computer systems that would be conventionally classified as intelligent--those that aim to develop models of their users--it also includes descriptions of sophisticated tools ...
