Paul Otellini, president and chief operating officer of Intel Corp., sang the praises of three of the technologies his company has on show at the Intel Developer Forum in an opening speech on Tuesday (Sept. 7) ¡ª namely multiprocessors, hardware support for IT managers and something called 'Vanderpool virtualiization', which allows a processor to run multiple operating systems at the same time.
In a speech to about 5,000 engineers and executives, said multiprocessors would be deployed across Intel's key product lines.
"Intel's multi-core technology isn't about just putting two cores on a single piece of silicon. Multi-core technology allows developers to take advantage of existing resources and tools to provide new and innovative benefits for end-users," Otellini said, in a statement issued by Intel.
Otellini demonstrated an Itanium processor, codenamed Montecito, which is not generally available yet, Intel said. The Montecito has more than 1.7 billion transistors and 24 megabytes of cache memory.
Intel also plans to provide the capability to run multiple operating systems on single processors, Otellini said. The virtualization technology, codenamed Vanderpool Technology or VT, would allow computers to run multiple operating environments simultaneously and significantly reduce reliability issues.
