Intel Teams With Google Cloud to Develop ‘Mount Evans’, a New Class of Data Centre Chip

Intel and Alphabet’s Google Cloud said on Wednesday that they have collaborated to develop a new chip category, which Intel hopes can become a major seller in the booming cloud computing market. This new chip, called Mount Evans, will be sold to companies other than Google, reflecting the way cloud computing providers operate.

They build huge data centers filled with powerful physical computers, and sell virtual slices of these machines to other companies, which in turn are more cost-effective than building their own machines. For cloud providers, tasks such as setting up virtual machines and delivering customer data to the correct location are essentially indirect costs. The Mount Evans chip, which Google and Intel call the “Infrastructure Processing Unit” (IPU), separates these tasks from the main computing tasks and accelerates them. Doing so also helps to ensure that these functions are safe from hacker attacks and increase the flexibility of the data center. “We think this is strategically important.

This is an extremely important area for us and the data center,” Nick McKeown, senior vice president of Intel Networks and Edge Group, told Reuters. Intel is not the only company manufacturing infrastructure chips. Nvidia and Marvell Technology offer similar but slightly different products. But Intel and Google are working together to develop a set of freely released software tools, hoping to make Intel’s version of the chip a more widely used industry standard outside of Google’s data center.

Google researcher and vice president of engineering Amin Vahdat said that Google hopes to inspire a technology trend that makes it easier for all data center operators to flexibly divide physical computer servers into virtual servers to adapt to any computing tasks. “The basic question of what a server is will go beyond the content inside the metal plate. IPU will play a central role there,” Vahdat told Reuters.

Last month, SpiceJet also commenced UDAN flights linking Shivamogga in Karnataka with Chennai and Hyderabad, and introduced double daily flights between Chennai and Kochi, enhancing connectivity across key regional and metropolitan cities.

“We are excited to announce the launch of new flights from Jaipur to Varanasi, Amritsar, and Ahmedabad, as well as from Ahmedabad to Pune, providing our passengers with greater flexibility and convenience,” SpiceJet Chief Business Officer Debojo Maharshi said.

“These new flights reflect our commitment to supporting passenger demand across tier-II cities and beyond.
