Intel Accelerates Developer Innovation with Open, Software-First Approach - Seite 3

More examples are in the works thanks to Project Amber, a software-as-a-service offering for attestation in confidential computing, introduced in May at Intel Vision. Leidos, a top federal government technology contractor in the U.S., is building a proof-of-concept with Project Amber to protect veterans’ health information for future use in mobile clinics.

Liz Porter, president of Leidos Health Group, joined Lavender on stage and explained that “Project Amber liberates Leidos from the need to build and maintain complex, expensive attestation systems, allowing us to focus on our core differentiation like intelligent automation and AI/ML driven analytics.”

Accelerating Innovation in AI, Quantum and Neuromorphic Computing and What Comes Next

Another benefit of open technology is that it can be combined into myriad solutions from vendors and customers with varied specialties. Red Hat Chief Technology Officer Chris Wright joined Lavender on stage by video to announce that Red Hat’s OpenShift Data Science has “integrated with Intel’s AI portfolio so developers can train and deploy their models using Intel’s AI Analytics Kit and OpenVINO tools.”

Red Hat is working to make the Habana Gaudi training accelerator available on its service to deliver “cost-efficient, high-performance, deep-learning model training and deployment – all as a managed cloud service.” Wright also announced the launch of a joint Intel and Red Hat AI Developer Program, aimed to “help developers easily learn, test and deploy models using Red Hat OpenShift Data Science and Intel’s integrated AI and edge portfolio.”

For those ready to take their acceleration needs a step into the future, Intel announced the Intel Quantum SDK, designed to help developers learn how to program quantum algorithms and start bringing this nascent technology to its full potential. The beta version is now available through the Intel Developer Cloud.

Lavender also detailed progress toward post-quantum cryptography, a part of Intel’s three-phased approach to address threats posed by quantum computers outlined at Intel Vision in May. Recent developments toward standardization and raising the urgency of opportunities and risks “are major steps forward for our industry as it prepares to be Y2Q-ready or quantum-resistant by 2030,” Lavender said. “Many believe Y2Q will have a bigger impact than the ‘millennium bug’ in the year 2000.”
