#Intel Smart city Tech Furthers City's Green Goals Intel and the city of San jos Calif. are collaborating on a public-private partnership to further the city s Green Vision goals.

The pilot program in San jos is Intel s first smart city implementation in the US. The scalability of Intel architecture enables the intelligence

and flexibility necessary for cities across the country to quickly deploy a range of smart city solutions for everything from air

San jos known as the Capital of Silicon valley is installing a network of sensors to create a sustainability lens that uses Intel technology to measure characteristics such as particulates in the air noise pollution and traffic flow.

Intel says its technology can help cities cost-effectively manage infrastructure growth and resource sustainability that can help them meet the demands of escalating population rates.

The city of San jos has installed a sensor demonstration platform using Intel Gateway Solutions for the Internet of things with an Intel Quark processor and third-party sensors.

Each gateway incorporates Wind River Intelligent Device Platform software with Mcafee security features connected to Intel s Hadoop distribution in the cloud.

IBM and Cisco are the top smart city suppliers positioned to become global leaders in the market according to a July 2013 Navigant Research report.

Intel s latest chips have transistors with features as small as 14 nanometers, but it is unclear how the industry can keep scaling down silicon transistors much further or

A project at IBM is now aiming to have built transistors using carbon nanotubes ready to take over from silicon transistors soon after 2020.

In 1998, researchers at IBM made one of the first working carbon nanotube transistors. And now after more than a decade of research, IBM is the first major company to commit to getting the technology ready for commercialization.

We previously worked on it as a sandbox type of thing, says James Hannon, head of IBM s molecular assemblies and devices group.

Hannon led IBM s nanotube work before Haensch, who took over in 2011 after a career working on manufacturing conventional chips.

Wilfried joined with a silicon technology background and our focus really shifted. Haensch s team chose the target for commercialization based on the timetable of technical improvements the chip industry has mapped out to keep alive Moore s Law

This is the point IBM hopes nanotubes can step in. The most recent report from the microchip industry group the ITRS says the so-called five-nanometernode is due in 2019.

IBM has made recently chips with 10 000 nanotube transistors. Now it is working on a transistor design that could be built on the silicon wafers used in the industry today with minimal changes to existing design and manufacturing methods.

IBM s chosen design uses six nanotubes lined up in parallel to make a single transistor.

The IBM team has tested nanotube transistors with that design, but so far it hasn t found a way to position the nanotubes closely enough together,

says However, for now IBM s nanotube effort remains within its research labs, not its semiconductor business unit.

says IBM s Hannon. If nanotubes don t make it, there s little else that shows much potential to take over from silicon transistors in that time frame.

Although IBM hasn worked t out how to make nanotube transistors small enough for mass production, Mirta says it has made concrete steps,

CEO of Hewlett-packard, announced the company grand new plan to compete with the Microsoft windows operating system,

she was thanking Microsoft for being a major sponsor of the conference and inviting the company new CEO, Satya Nadella, on stage.

Nadella joined Whitman and Intel new CEO Brian Krzanich for a fireside chat-style interview conducted by New york times columnist and author, Tom Friedman.

He threw in a little dig at Microsoft when announcing the news saying: e want to reignite in all of our universities around the world operating system research

since Microsoft doesn freely share that code. Windows is not free and open source as Linux and Android is.

In other words, HP could be doing a joint development project with Microsoft if it wanted to.

As Whitman said about the HP, Intel, Microsoft combo, ur partnership, the three companies it was the defining partnership of the industry for the last 30 years but sometimes 30-year marriages,

It not wholly surprising that HP is building a new computer that will extricate itself from Microsoft,

and potentially from Intel, too, depending on who HP chooses to fabricate its new chip. Last year, Whitman called out Microsoft and Intel as competitors.

After a disappointing quarter for the company PC business she told Wall street analysts: P traditional highly profitable markets face significant disruption.

Current partners like Intel and Microsoft are turning from partners to outright competitors. Since then, HP has introduced new Windows 8 PCS.

and hp is interested clearly not in helping Microsoft, and prefers open source OSS. Intel also might be left out in the cold.

If hp has the goods and delivers, this technology will become THE big data system, and take over the server world just for the energy savings alone.
