3 TC History and Intel s Involvement Prof. Zhang Yaoxue the Inventor MOU/Agreement with CSU TC joint lab in SJTU and CSU TC Landing / Tablet Cart CSU collabortion, Big Data & Xiangya project support TC 2.0 Intel-ASPire MOU, Intel- ASPire TC Joint Lab TC invented Intel cooperated with Tsinghua / Prof. Zhang 2000 Included in Intel-MIIT MOU Prof. Zhang s Profile Fellow of CAE CSU President Prof. of Tsinghua University Vision: Computing Everywhere without Consciousness 3

4 Architecture TC Client OS Provisioning 1. Split SW & HW 2. Split Computing and Storage Transparent Computing Delivery Network Local Computing Network Connection TC Server Remote Storage Split is the key 4 key issues Software provisioning (stream execution) Storage virtualization User hardware separation 4

12 Successful Story 1 - Wired Example: TC Solution for CSU & SJTU Lab WAN/ LAN TC server Web-based mgmt console: manage anywhere Win.img Ethernet switch Linux.img OtherOS.img Enable TC just by adding a TC Server TC clients (Student PC) 12

13 Successful story 2: Wireless Example: Intel EduPad POC with CMCC/Aspire Wireless Network Enable TC on embedded devices in wireless network 13

14 Agenda TC - the Retrospective UEFI - the Review & Update TC Evolution & Intel s Work Before Intel s Recent Thinking & Work 14

15 Changing Computing Environment End Users: Convergence of PC and new devices (tablet, phone, wearable, IoT, etc.) Security Information Transfer Channel: Broadband WiFi 3G, 4G Backend: Cloud Big data 15

16 Current Problem & Solution Architecture: how to meet new changes? Engineering & production: What s the landing zone? & How to land? Direction: any new? New TC 2.0 Architecture TC Tablet Cart TC & Big Data 16

17 New Architecture Computing Elements Cloud Internet Compute How to compute effectively? I/O Storage Content Multiple/different kind of devices Service 17

18 Computing Relationships Man Man-machine: machine-oriented to user-oriented Machine machine-machine: make full use of computing resource from internet Machine-content: only care for content, not HW Content Rethink about the computing relationships 18

19 Looking backwards: from PC to TC/CC Local Remote Re-organize Computing Components PC NPC TC CC 19

20 TC 2.0 Dynamically Manage Computing Resources Dynamically allocate computing resources Logically connect man-content directly INTERNET Physical computer to logical computer 20

21 Engineering & Production Tablet Cart: the Landing of TC Product What we need: Successful stories with more end-users More mature product, vertical market preferred A more general technology base as vehicle to contain new technical building blocks A bridge between technology/poc and market/product Specific requirements for the landing product: Wireless & mobile terminal oriented Scalable and expandable Vertical market oriented Design for PRC market first 21

22 Tablet Cart: Make Computer Room Moving (A college in Jiangsu will deploy this pilot solution) 运营商骨干网络 校园网 接入路由器 核心交换机 校园网数据中心 22

23 Concept A cart shipped with an independent tablet-based TC system including TC tablet clients, server, management tablet and WiFi connections Key Features Tablet holding Intelligent charging System management (patching, virus scanning, upgrading, ) Application management (add, remove, upgrade, ) Data sharing within cart/with external Customers and Usage Scenarios E-classroom tablet for students Hospital tablet for doctors/nurses Library pad for readers Airport tablet lending for VIP customers Building Blocks Cart On-cart TC server Control tablet Client tablets Connections (USB, network) 23

24 New direction TC & Big Data Why to link TC & Big Data? Both TC Big Data handle Data Storage & process, both are developing computing concepts TC & Big Data share key building blocks (Storage, Distributed process, networking and data consistency) Both TC & Big Data are for marketing visions like SaaS and information service/sharing Two Conclusions Big Data helps to expand TC capability TC helps to present Big Data better, more efficient presentation mechanism 24

25 Practice of linking TC with Big Data : Xiangya Health Program (Intel s proposal) 医疗大数据主系统 电子病例输入接口子系统 中南大学大数据中心 大数据系统维护管理子系统 基于透明计算的医疗大数据增值业务系统 透明计算服务器 医疗数据接口子系统 ( 临床科研门户 ) 公众数据接口子系统 ( 公众健康数据 ) 医疗数据医疗数据服务医疗数据服务医疗数据服务医疗数据服务服务 公众数据公众数据服务公众数据服务公众数据服务服务 PC ( 透明计算客户端 ) Internet ( 透明计算传输网络 ) 平板 ( 透明计算客户端 ) 手机 ( 透明计算客户端 ) 透明计算 : 简化医疗大数据的使用, 将医疗大数据服务扩展到 任意终端 Transparent, 实现 Computing 计算无处不在 Summit 2014 的愿景 25
