Alfred The Intel Intern

1. Alfred The Intel Intern - H. Alfred Hotelling - http://resume.alfredh.org (Does that ‘Alfred’ Guy Ever Do Anything Around Here?)

2. What has Alfred the Intern learned at Intel? - Microsoft PowerPoint (duh) - Microcode for IXP1200 and IXP2XXX - Microengine C for IXP1200 and IXP2XXX - IXP2XXX Architecture - Microsoft Access - SQL to extract only the data we need - Microsoft Excel and the Visual Basic Editor to view data we need in the format we need across multiple worksheets

3. What has Alfred the Intern done for Intel? I spent the first two weeks simply studying who does what and what everything does - Marketing documents and information on IXA software vendors - Information on switch fabric companies - IXP2XXX architecture  Software Pipelining (Functional and Context)  Next-Neighbor Registers  Local Memory  Content Addressable Memory and Inter-thread Signaling for Mutual Exclusion from Critical Sections  Folding  Playing with the Simulator

4. What has Alfred the Intern done for Intel? “Grover Hill”

5. What has Alfred the Intern done for Intel? “Grover Hill”

6. What has Alfred the Intern done for Intel? Visual Basic Macros to Extract the Data from Grover Hill  Quick retrieval, convenient format Executes in under 90 seconds Users have to simply open the Excel file to get the data they need ( Let me demonstrate. The macros may finish extracting and presenting the data before we finish this slide. )  Data Independence: Changing the data in Grover Hill does not necessitate changing the code in the Visual Basic macros  The data on each vendor gets their own worksheet  Original execution time: 13 minutes. Thanks to advice from Robert Hunter, execution time declined 88 percent.  Have the Visual Basic macros presented the data by the time we have reached this line?

7. What has Alfred the Intern done for Intel? You have seen what Alfred has done. How does it help Intel?  What does Intel want NPD to do?  Acquire design wins!  How did Alfred the Intern help NPD acquire design wins? Grover Hill allows anyone in NPD to:  Get a list of ISVs that implement any protocol you click  Get a list of dates these ISVs plan to release these implementations  Find which ISVs support a particular RFC  Find the market segments on which an ISV is targeting The Visual Basic macros allows anyone in NPD to:  Create separate worksheets for ISVs to edit the data  Update presentations with current data in 90 seconds Bottom Line: NPD needs this information to persuade customers to buy our silicon.

8. What does the future hold for Alfred the Intel Intern?  Working for Intel?  Competing against Intel?  The largest advantage of the current economy is an opportunity for Intel: no competition to hire Alfred the Intern as a permanent employee.  Alfred the Intern is certifiably proficient with Japanese.  Please visit < http://resume.alfredh.org > whenever you need an extra computer engineer proficient with Japanese.  Thank you for taking an interest in Alfred the Intel Intern.
