The Government has offered Australia's three mobile operators, and vividwireless, renewal of their existing spectrum allocated on 15 year licences in the late 90s and early 2000s at set prices, while the Government expects to rake in $3 billion.
According to Rattner, the lab will conduct both basic and
applied research in realistic, interactive computer graphics and
natural user interfaces, and by the year's end, the institute will
employ about a dozen researchers from Intel, Saarland University, Max
Planck Institute for Informatics, Max Planck Institute for Software
Systems and the German Research Centre for Artificial Intelligence.
Saarland’s Prime Minister, Peter Müller, says
the State of Saarland is intensively fostering technology transfer
among academic research facilities and the industry, and is “very proud
of the world-class research conducted at the Saarland University, the
Max Planck Society research institutes and the German Research Centre
for Artificial Intelligence.”
“We are equally proud that now we have been able to entice Intel to
invest in Saarland. The Intel Visual Computing Institute has the
potential to attract even more research in its area of expertise.”
Intel says its new centre will deliver more compelling visual computing
applications through the development of new software designs and
architectures, visual computing algorithms and parallel computing
solutions.
Rattner says the institute will establish a feedback loop to Intel’s
hardware design labs -- including in Barcelona, Spain and Braunschweig,
Germany -- contributing to future visual computing hardware design, and
current research contributions are expected to yield new software tools
and hardware insights within just a few years.
“Intel has a rich history of innovation and creativity in Europe with
research and development programs encompassing areas such as chip
design, software development, mobile communications and services,
atomic-level chip research, development of key Intel products and
research on technologies that could help the ageing population to lead
healthier, better lives.”
