On October 19th, 21st and 23rd, with the theme of “Moblin Is Open”, Moblin RoadShows were successfully delivered respectively in Beijing, Shanghai and Shenzhen. Together with Moblin Partners, Intel has demonstrate the huge competitive advantage and the latest achievements of Intel® Atom™ processor and Moblin platform in the applications of MID, netbooks and IVI systems. These RoadShows are intended to stimulate the passion of ISV and developers to develop more mobile applications, bring more innovative applications for consumers and boost the development of mobile Internet era.
Moblin is an open source project that supports Linux-based software platform and is optimized for the next generation of mobile devices including netbooks, mobile Internet devices (MIDs), in-vehicle infotainment systems, and other embedded devices.
Dr. Bob Liang, General Manager of Intel Asia-Pacific R&D. Ltd., delivered a keynote at the RoadShow. He said, “Supported and driven by a number of industry partners, Moblin has got rapid development and gratifying application, since released. Besides the mobile field like netbook and MID, we are very pleased to see Moblin has been applied in embedded systems and rural informatization in China. The growing demand for mobile Internet will stimulate more software and applications innovation around Moblin, to create the future of the mobile Internet”
Intel will release Moblin v2.1 by the end of 2009. Based on Moblin v2.0, Moblin v2.1 will include many community and customer requested enhancements; for example, support for additional nettop screen resolutions, myzone improvements, IM improvements, better language support, updated kernel, Moblin Garage, Moblin Application Installer, 3G data support, and Bluetooth. The Moblin v2.1 release timing for other user experiences, such as MID, IVI and embedded devices, will align with the availability and release of those hardware platforms. 　

At the “2009 Animation Rendering and High-Performance Computing Forum” held in Beijing recently, Inspur* and Intel displayed their own 4S solution based on local application and advanced application technology coming out of DreamWorks*. The exhibition has attracted great attention. The two sides indicated they would help improve the quality of Chinese domestic animation and to make contribution to the creation of China's "DreamWorks" and "Disney". The commitment would be realized through local application exploration and the introduction of international advanced technologies.
As the head of technical support team for DreamWorks*, Chief Engineer of Intel Software and Services Group, Ram Ramanujam said, “For DreamWorks, Intel has utilized a lot of multi-core and many-core processors, designed and optimized for animation rendering. And through custom oriented optimized software and clustering structure solution, the bottleneck problems in applications could be addressed. In the future, the new Larabbe architecture processors and Stereo 3D technology will also be fully committed to construct a new DreamWorks style viewing experience.”
Liu Jun, GM of High Performance Servers Group of Inspur*, expressed that Inspur* is working with Intel to carry out extensive cooperation in animation rendering. “We hope to make full use of the cooperation and provide Chinese animation users with not only the best hardware platforms, solutions, but also the world’s leading resources, producing ideas and business practices of rendering technology, in order to help domestic animation in line with international standards. This is our expectation for the collaboration with Intel. ”

On 14th Oct, Intel and Wuxi city in Jiangsu Province signed a MOU, announcing the establishment of the Intel China Center of Parallel Computing (ICCPC) in the city. With Wuxi’s geographical and technological advantages, ICCPC targets to be a world-class technology center, promoting the innovation and research in parallel computing. The center will also help Chinese IT industry seize opportunities of innovation in multi-core era and become the leader in the field of parallel computing.
As Intel's first cooperative parallel computing center around the world, the ICCPC is jointly funded by Intel and the local government and will start operation in 2010 under the management of Beijing SoftTech Technologies Co., Ltd.* According to the plan, Intel will provide the center with free software and pertinent training and counseling and help the latter develop advanced parallel computing software technologies, particularly, throughput and visual computing. Meanwhile, it will support China's independent software builders with the latest tile processors, including to-be-released new Larrabee architecture, and form partnerships with colleges and universities, research institutes and industrial players, assisting their R&D based on its platforms.
Currently, parallel computing has become widely used in all works of life. As a result, more pertinent applications are needed. Fully using the high performance of its multi-core processors, Intel promoted program and software development kits like Intel® Parallel Studio, which will optimize the design of parallel programs.
