Hello, and welcome, and thank you for being here tonight.
We are going to have a series of questions accompanied
with a series of hot wings.
The questions are going to get tougher,
and the wings are going to get much hotter.
Now I would like to welcome on stage
to Raja Koduri and Jim Keller.

This industry has long lived Moore's law,
but I'm forever hearing about how Moore's law is dead.
So is it dead or not, and are you a follower of Moore's law?
It's definitely not dead.
We have to act like it, design for it, and live it,
and then it turns out that's a self-fulfilling prophecy that
will make it true.

We have said at Intel that we will put security first.
What does it mean to you in your positions at Intel,
and what are you able to do about security?
The chips are getting more complicated,
but the pieces that go together, as we put them together,
creates more attack surfaces.
We've been thinking about collaborating
with the whole industry on how we secure.

What is your favorite tier in the memory-storage hierarchy?
My favorite level hierarchy is when the solution
says I need this much capacity and this much bandwidth period.
That would be a proper level hierarchy.
Then your favorite tier of memory is I
want one tier of memory--
I want--
--one giant memory pool.
--no tiers of memory.
Give me my data.

Raja, now you're working on another unified architecture,
this time in software.
What is it all about, and how is Intel
going to actually make this happen?
It's a necessary thing to do.
We need a hardware-software contract
at a different level of abstraction
for us to be able to do all of the scale,
solve all of the compute problems that are ahead of us.
And that's kind of the gist of on API.
So it's not just an Intel thing to do.
It is an industry thing to do.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
As a memory person, I think of interconnect as chip to chip.
I think of memory bus.
But when you come to Intel, it means something much,
much broader than that.
Can you give us an idea of the scope of Intel's offering
and what is so hot about interconnect right now?
Well, I remember when we did like 33 megahertz, 100
megahertz, and each level was hard, right?
So how are we going to get to 266?
And I kept thinking, what's different?
What's going to?
If it was hard at 100, why is it a gigabit now?
That's a no-brainer, right?
I think the laws of physics are changing.
That's my only explanation.
Hey, guess what can make PCIE gen
three look like PCIE gen four?
Software.
Yes, exactly.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
Gentlemen, what is your dream architecture?
Somewhere somebody does a calculation where
they care about the answer.
What's their A game? [? Mo ?] add units.
So what would be the perfect computer?
Nothing but [? mo ?] add units.
My dream architecture is to be able to deliver
an interesting mix of scalar, vector, matrix hardware.
I'll go for this.
Ooh!
Oh.
I have to say, this is the best one.
[LAUGHTER]
Oh, this is hot.
This is freaking hot.
[LAUGHTER]
Are you OK?
I'm OK.
Come on, get a picture.
I've never seen him this way.
[LAUGHTER]
