Intel also announced six more education and research institutions that have formed oneAPI Centers of Excellence to expand oneAPI support in important applications and extend oneAPI educational curriculum development. The new COEs include the School of Software and Microelectronics of Peking University, the Science and Technology Facilities Council in the UK, the University of Utah in collaboration with Lawrence Livermore National Laboratory (LLNL), the University of California San Diego, and the Zuse Institute Berlin.
For developers looking to build new AI solutions in a fast, efficient, and industry-specific manner, Intel released three new AI reference kits for healthcare: document automation, disease prediction, and medical imaging diagnostics. Developers can find them on GitHub, alongside the four kits released in July.
“Our goal is to make it easy for developers to get the best software technology through the open source ecosystem or as Intel-delivered products,” Lavender said. And though they may not realize it, some 90% of developers are using software developed or optimized by Intel, according to a Global Development Survey conducted by Evans Data Corp. in 2021. Among many examples, Intel has been a top contributor to the Linux kernel for over a decade and recently helped integrate the oneDNN performance library to TensorFlow, automatically bringing up to a 3x performance improvement to the millions that use the popular AI framework.
New Services Made Possible with Better Security: E-Prescriptions and Remote Care
At the intersection of open software, hardware solutions and business needs lie entirely new opportunities — like Germany’s e-prescriptions project, with the roll-out in progress.
IBM developed the e-prescription solution and integrated Intel® Software Guard Extensions (SGX) with Gramine to deliver a superb customer experience while helping maintain platform integrity and the need for stringent security and privacy. Intel is a leading contributor to the open-source Gramine project, which enables Germany’s national digital health agency to gain the integrity and confidentiality provided by SGX secure enclaves with minimal modification.
