SANTA CLARA, Calif.–(THETECHMUSK=TTM)–Intel and the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation announced today that company co-founder Gordon Moore has passed away at the age of 94.

The foundation reported he died peacefully on Friday, March 24, 2023, surrounded by family at his home in Hawaii.

Moore and his longtime colleague Robert Noyce founded Intel in July 1968. Moore initially served as executive vice president until 1975, when he became president. In 1979, Moore was named chairman of the board and chief executive officer, posts he held until 1987, when he gave up the CEO position and continued as chairman. In 1997, Moore became chairman emeritus, stepping down in 2006.

More: Gordon Moore at Intel

During his lifetime, Moore also dedicated his focus and energy to philanthropy, particularly environmental conservation, science and patient care improvements. Along with his wife of 72 years, he established the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation, which has donated more than $5.1 billion to charitable causes since its founding in 2000.

“Those of us who have met and worked with Gordon will forever be inspired by his wisdom, humility and generosity,” reflected foundation president Harvey Fineberg. “Though he never aspired to be a household name, Gordon’s vision and his life’s work enabled the phenomenal innovation and technological developments that shape our everyday lives. Yet those historic achievements are only part of his legacy. His and Betty’s generosity as philanthropists will shape the world for generations to come.”

“Gordon Moore defined the technology industry through his insight and vision. He was instrumental in revealing the power of transistors, and inspired technologists and entrepreneurs across the decades. We at Intel remain inspired by Moore’s Law, and intend to pursue it until the periodic table is exhausted. Gordon’s vision lives on as our true north as we use the power of technology to improve the lives of every person on Earth. My career and much of my life took shape within the possibilities fueled by Gordon’s leadership at the helm of Intel, and I am humbled by the honor and responsibility to carry his legacy forward.”

Pat Gelsinger, Intel CEO

Frank D. Yeary, chairman of Intel’s board of directors, said, “Gordon was a brilliant scientist and one of America’s leading entrepreneurs and business leaders. It is impossible to imagine the world we live in today, with computing so essential to our lives, without the contributions of Gordon Moore. He will always be an inspiration to our Intel family and his thinking at the core of our innovation culture.”

“I will remember Gordon as a brilliant scientist, a straight-talker and an astute businessperson who sought to make the world better and always do the right thing. It was a privilege to know him, and I am grateful that his legacy lives on in the culture of the company he helped to create.”

Andy Bryant, former chairman of Intel’s board of directors

Prior to establishing Intel, Moore and Noyce participated in the founding of Fairchild Semiconductor, where they played central roles in the first commercial production of diffused silicon transistors and later the world’s first commercially viable integrated circuits. The two had previously worked together under William Shockley, the co-inventor of the transistor and founder of Shockley Semiconductor, which was the first semiconductor company established in what would become Silicon Valley. Upon striking out on their own, Moore and Noyce hired future Intel CEO Andy Grove as the third employee, and the three of them built Intel into one of the world’s great companies. Together they became known as the “Intel Trinity,” and their legacy continues today.

In addition to Moore’s seminal role in founding two of the world’s pioneering technology companies, he famously forecast in 1965 that the number of transistors on an integrated circuit would double every year – a prediction that came to be known as Moore’s Law.

“All I was trying to do was get that message across, that by putting more and more stuff on a chip we were going to make all electronics cheaper,” Moore said in a 2008 interview.

With his 1965 prediction proven correct, in 1975 Moore revised his estimate to the doubling of transistors on an integrated circuit every two years for the next 10 years. Regardless, the idea of chip technology growing at an exponential rate, continually making electronics faster, smaller and cheaper, became the driving force behind the semiconductor industry and paved the way for the ubiquitous use of chips in millions of everyday products.

In 2022, Gelsinger announced the renaming of the Ronler Acres campus in Oregon – where Intel teams develop future process technologies – to Gordon Moore Park at Ronler Acres. The RA4 building that’s home for much of Intel’s Technology Development Group was also renamed The Moore Center along with its café, The Gordon.

“I can think of no better way to honor Gordon and the profound impact he’s had on this company than by bestowing his name on this campus,” Gelsinger said at the event. “I hope we did you proud today, Gordon. And the world thanks you.”

Gordon Earle Moore was born in San Francisco on Jan. 3, 1929, to Walter Harold and Florence Almira “Mira” (Williamson) Moore. Moore was educated at San Jose State University, the University of California at Berkeley, and the California Institute of Technology, where he was awarded a Ph.D. in chemistry in 1954.

He started his research career at the Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory in Maryland. He returned to California in 1956 to join Shockley Semiconductor. In 1957, Moore co-founded Fairchild Semiconductor, a division of Fairchild Camera and Instrument, along with Robert Noyce and six other colleagues from Shockley Semiconductor. Eleven years later, Moore and Noyce co-founded Intel.

With Fairchild and Intel came financial success. Beginning with individual gifts, many of them anonymous, then forming the Moore Family Foundation, and eventually, in 2000, creating the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation, Moore and his wife sought through philanthropy to make the world a better place for future generations. His passion for impact and measurement were hallmarks of his philanthropic work and aspirations.

He received the National Medal of Technology from President George H.W. Bush in 1990, and the Presidential Medal of Freedom, the nation’s highest civilian honor, from President George W. Bush in 2002.

After retiring from Intel in 2006, Moore divided his time between California and Hawaii, serving as chairman of the board for the Gordon and Betty Moore Foundation until transitioning to chairman emeritus in 2018. Moore also served as a member of the board of directors of Conservation International and Gilead Sciences, Inc. He was a member of the National Academy of Engineering, a Fellow of the Royal Society of Engineers, and a Fellow of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers. He served as chairman of the board of trustees of the California Institute of Technology from 1995 until the beginning of 2001, and continued as a Life Trustee.

In 1950, Moore married Betty Irene Whitaker, who survives him. Moore is also survived by sons Kenneth and Steven and four grandchildren.

Muslim Aid on Tuesday distributed 10,000 meals as it launches its flagship Feed The Fasting campaign in the UK to combat the cost-of-living crisis. 

Muslim Aid, which is one of the oldest British Muslim charities, carried out launch event for the distribution at East London Mosque in partnership with Euro Foods. 

Local high-profile figure such as Dilowar Khan, the Director of East London Mosque, Lutfur Rahman the Mayor of Tower Hamlets and Shelim Hussain MBE, Managing Director of Euro Foods, attended the distribution.  

Muslim Aid’s leadership team also spoke of their experience in food poverty and the way their experience drives their humanitarian work. 

“Sadly, we do have poverty right here on my doorstep right here in Tower Hamlets. I myself, I grew up not far from here in a council estate in Hackney, and I remember as a child, my mother and I used to live alone and I used to come home from school and there wasn’t hot food in the house”, said Mustafa Faruqi, Muslim Aid’s Chair of the Board of Trustees. 

“I remember eating plain bread because we didn’t have food in the house. We didn’t need food banks or food parcels but I do have a little bit of experience of what it’s like to be in food poverty and food hunger”, he added. 

“The distribution was a massive success and we are proud that Muslim Aid has extended our Feed The Fasting campaign by launching it at one of Europe’s largest Mosques, and we are looking to roll it out to the rest of the country as we find more partners to work with”, said Abul Kalam, Head of Fundraising and Marketing Campaigns at Muslim Aid.   

“Muslim Aid is based in London’s borough of Tower Hamlets, where 56 percent of children live in poverty, it felt natural for us to launch this campaign closest to home”,

Khalid Javid, Interim CEO of Muslim Aid. 

Feed The Fasting takes place every Ramadan by Muslim Aid — the second oldest Muslim charity in the UK — which feeds people in poverty across the world to cover their meals throughout the holy Muslim month. 

Last year, Muslim Aid’s Feed The Fasting campaign delivered over 2.2 million meals across the world in 12 countries. Muslim Aid is planning to roll out the campaign in the UK by engaging with civil organisations, businesses and local political leaders to become partners in this national endeavour.

DHAKA, Bangladesh, March 24, 2023 /THETECHMUSK=TTM/ — Nagad, a leading mobile money service operator based in Bangladesh, has become a billion-dollar company only in three years of its inception, says Zunaid Ahmed Palak, state minister for ICT Division.

“Nagad has become a billion-dollar company based on its partnership with the Postal Department and its integration with ICT Division’s ‘Parichay’, while it took 10 years for bKash to achieve that feat,” commented the state minister while comparing the country’s two leading MFS carriers at the inauguration ceremony of “Meghna Pay”, an MFS of Meghna Bank, in a five-star hotel in Dhaka recently.

“Nagad has become a billion-dollar company based on its partnership with the Postal Department and its integration with ICT Division’s ‘Parichay’, while it took 10 years for bKash to achieve that feat”

Zunaid Ahmed Palak, state minister for ICT Division

Tanvir A Mishuk, founder and managing director of Nagad Limited, Ashequr Rahman, chairman of Meghna Bank Limited, Sohail RK Hussain, managing director and CEO of Meghna Bank Limited, were also present at the function.

Terming Nagad as the fastest-growing start-up fintech in the world, Zunaid Ahmed Palak said Bangladesh has now gained the status of becoming a champion in the global MFS industry.

“Nagad as a mobile financial service will stay beside Meghna Pay with all kinds of technological assistance.”

Tanvir A Mishuk, founder and managing director of Nagad Limited

Explaining it, he said, “We believe if we work together with Meghna Pay to break the monopoly in the [MFS] market, this will benefit both the market as well as people.”

“We want to build a smart Bangladesh by working shoulder to shoulder,” he added.

Nagad, as an MFS of Bangladesh Postal Department, embarked on its journey on 26 March in 2019. At the outset, it shook the entire financial industry by innovating electronic know-your-customer (e-KYC). In the e-KYC system, customers can open an MFS account using their smartphone in less than a minute just by taking a photo of their national identity card and a selfie.

Later, the state-owned MFS operator came up with an even easier way to open an MFS account just by dialing *167# on a feature phone. The ground-breaking innovations have brought an end to cumbersome paperwork, thus creating a buzz across the world.

Nagad’s success reflects its use of state-of-the-art technologies that allow the delivery of various services at minimal charges. In some cases, Nagad provides its customers with free of cost services.

Operating with a government partnership, Nagad’s registered customers now stand at 7.25 crore, with its daily transactions hitting around BDT 1,000 crore on average.

Nagad has also shown the way how government allowances, education stipends and other financial aids can be disbursed among real beneficiaries through a digital platform instantly and conveniently.

Fei Zhenfu, President of Huawei Data Center Facility Domain, shared Huawei’s insights on the top 10 data center facility trends. (Photo: Business Wire)

March 24, 2023 12:14 AM Eastern Daylight Time

SHENZHEN, China–(THETECHMUSK=TTM)–Huawei recently held the Top 10 Trends of Data Center Facilities conference, themed “Smart DC, Building the Green Future”. Fei Zhenfu, President of Huawei Data Center Facility Domain, released a white paper outlining Huawei’s insights on data center facility trends that aim to promote sustainable development in the data center industry.

According to Mr. Fei, as global computing demand continues to grow exponentially in the digital intelligence era, there will be a surge in data center construction. To achieve carbon neutrality, the industry must prioritize energy conservation, carbon emission reduction, and green transformation. This presents both challenges and opportunities. Drawing from its experience and industry insights, Huawei has identified the following 10 trends:

Trend 1: Low Carbon

Data centers will adopt green, low-carbon solutions and utilize clean energy sources like PV, wind, and hydropower to minimize their carbon footprint. By 2027, green power utilization is expected to exceed 50%. Advanced energy conservation solutions and technologies, such as waste heat recovery, will be implemented to improve data center energy efficiency and recovery rates.

Trend 2: Sustainability

New sustainability indicators for data centers will be introduced, including renewable energy utilization, water usage effectiveness (WUE), carbon usage effectiveness (CUE), space usage effectiveness (SUE), grid usage effectiveness (GUE), material recovery rate, and lifetime contaminant emissions, in addition to the existing power usage effectiveness (PUE).

Trend 3: Fast Deployment

Data centers must be rapidly deployed to meet skyrocketing computing demands, with construction periods decreasing from 12 months to six months or less.

Trend 4: High Density

As chip performance and power consumption improve, the demand for high-density data centers will increase. Cloud data centers will become mainstream, and diversified computing collaboration will become the norm. Standard power density per IT rack will increase from 6–8 kW to 12–15 kW by 2027. Power density in supercomputing and intelligent computing centers will reach 30 kW or higher.

Trend 5: Elasticity

Future data centers will be more flexible regarding upgrades, with one generation of facilities supporting power evolution over two to three generations of IT equipment. A standard design will facilitate on-demand deployment and elastic capacity expansion.

Trend 6: Prefabrication

The prefabricated and simple architecture will tackle challenges like long construction periods and complex O&M faced by traditional data centers. In the future, a data center building will house over 1000 racks, and a campus will accommodate over 10,000 racks. The prefabricated design will shorten the construction period for a 1000-rack data center from 12 months to 6 months, enabling rapid delivery and on-demand deployment.

Trend 7: Storage and Backup Integration

Renewable energy and energy storage will be necessary for power-hungry data centers. Energy storage systems (ESSs) deployments in data centers will integrate short-term backup power systems to participate in frequency regulation and peak shaving, enhancing power grid stability. Peak shaving will also improve the grid usage effectiveness (GUE) so that more IT racks can be deployed to increase revenue.

Trend 8: Distributed Cooling

A distributed cooling system uses cooling sources for each data hall and adopts a redundancy configuration as required. In the future, distributed cooling systems will gradually replace centralized cooling as the preferred solution for large data centers due to their flexible architecture and high reliability.

Trend 9: Smart O&M

Smart O&M is crucial for enhancing data center resource utilization and reliability. Intelligent operations will automatically determine data center asset statuses to maximize asset value. Intelligent maintenance will identify faults and optimize energy conservation in real time to improve O&M efficiency, achieving predictive maintenance and optimal energy efficiency.

Trend 10: Security & Trustworthiness

As digitalization and intelligence advance, data centers will strengthen their hardware reliability, software security, system resilience, safety, privacy, and availability. AI technologies will implement predictive maintenance on components, devices, and systems at the hardware level. The hierarchical defense will be provided at the software level. A combination of software and hardware measures will boost data center reliability.

Moving forward, Huawei will strengthen technological innovation to lead industry development and offer more competitive products and solutions to build a solid digital foundation for a greener, low-carbon future for the data center industry.

Additionally, Teleperformance has conducted detailed internal audits and has had third-party external reviews of its operations by some of Teleperformance’s clients, Korn Ferry and Bureau Veritas, with a special focus on its people management and workplace practices.

Key findings stemming from the discussions and reviews is that Teleperformance is one of the industry’s leading providers of content moderation services; Teleperformance has a strong focus on its staff well-being; and the Company’ content moderators are proud of what they do and feel adequately supported by the company in performing this public service.

In November 2022, Teleperformance had announced it would exit moderation of highly egregious content within its trust and safety division. Since then, the Company has honored its commitment not to accept new business of moderating highly egregious content while honoring its existing contractual obligations.

While highly egregious content is a very small part of Teleperformance’s content moderation work, post the third-party reviews and discussions, Teleperformance is now convinced that it is in the best interest of the billions of people that are online every day that Teleperformance continues to serve the content moderation needs of its clients in full and not exit any part of the business.

Teleperformance will continue to work with its clients, academia, employees’ representatives, and other industry experts to make this activity even safer. These initiatives include increased use of latest AI products to improve automated screening of harmful content and further enhancements in physical and emotional wellness programs for content moderators. Teleperformance will also set up an independent Safety Advisory Board, comprising experts from related fields, for its content moderation business.
