The Alan Turing Institute and Intel have teamed up in a longterm research project aimed at developing high-performance computing and data analytics.
Researchers from both organisations will work on the programme along with co-funded research fellows and software engineers.
Intel will also base a hardware architecture team at the Institute’s facilities so that new algorithms developed by the Alan Turing Institute feed into the design of Intel’s future generations of microprocessors.
Both organisations will work together to raise awareness of the importance and potential of data science and algorithms.
Professor Andrew Blake, director of The Alan Turing Institute, said: “This is a great development for the Institute and for data science globally.
“Alan Turing was one of the first people to build an electronic computer. The partnership with Intel means that, true to his legacy, the Institute named after him will be contributing to the design of future generations of computers.
“The goal of the Alan Turing Institute is to drive scientific and technological discoveries in the use of big data and algorithms, which will create new business opportunities, and accelerate solutions to global challenges. We have, today, taken a significant step towards that goal.”
Christian Morales, corporate VP, general manager Intel EMEA, said: “The Data Scientist is a very captivating and crucial job of the 21st century. With the right combination of people and technology, Big Data has the potential to solve big problems in public health, medicine, science, agriculture and engineering.
“We are committed to helping the Alan Turing Institute develop a fertile breeding ground for data scientists, with the greater purpose of driving critical data analytics across all industries.”
Minister for Universities and Science, Jo Johnson, said: “Government is committed to ensuring the UK is the best place in Europe to innovate, patent new ideas and start a business. Big data offers huge potential for innovation which is why Government invested £42m in the Alan Turing Institute to secure the UK’s future in this important field.”

This new partnership sounds fantastic! To create an institute of advanced computing named after Alan Turing is a grate honor in remembrance of the genius of his mind who spent most of his life to compute that which was considered uncomputable. But this comes with a warning:
DO NOT use this technology to the intimidation and imprisonment of innocent people. This would be completely counter to the wishes and intent of Alan's work in this field who gave his genius and energies selflessly towards saving and the improvement of mankind.
