The next
Computing
Colloquium,
Inspiring
Innovation,
by Dr. Craig
Barrett
(Chairman, Intel
Corporation)
will take place
on Tuesday,
January 27th, at
14:00, in the
main auditorium,
at CERN.
Abstract:
Technology has
had a profound
impact on
people’s lives
around the world
by tackling
challenges in
education,
health care,
research, and
economic
development.
Throughout its
history, Intel
has been
inspired by what
technology makes
possible. The
work taking
place at CERN
has been a prime
motivation to
continue
enhancing
energy-efficient
computing power
required in the
search for the
Higgs boson. Can
Intel keep pace
with computing
needs to tackle
the world’s
biggest
challenges?
Craig Barrett,
Chairman of
Intel and the
United Nations
Global Alliance
for Information
and
Communication
Technologies and
Development,
will discuss
research
currently
underway that
will help us
rise to the
challenge, as
well as how
technology is
changing
people’s lives
all over the
world.
