1. Open CirrusTM Cloud Computing Testbed
June, 2009
3. HP Labs around the world HP Labs has 7 worldwide locations with roughly 600 researchers working in 23 labs.
The greatest concentration is in Palo Alto. The next largest is in Bristol, England, two hours west of London. We also have growing labs in Japan, China, India, Israel and our newest lab in Russia.
Among our researchers are hundreds of PhDs. We have holders, collectively, of thousands of patents. And we have recognized global leaders in areas ranging from nanotechnology and computer algorithms, to data management and data mining, to digital signal processing and data compression.
Our 4 HP Senior Fellows and 7 HP Fellows the highest distinction we have for our scientists are as accomplished as any group of researchers in any corporate lab in the world. 10 of our researchers are fellows of IEEE, five are Fellows of ACM, and two are members of the National Academy of Engineering. They consistently win prestigious international prizes such as the Turing Award (the most prestigious short of the Nobel Prize in computing), the Hamming Award and the Feynmann Award.
Today, this group of brilliant minds is focused on fewer, bigger bets: 60% of Labs researchers work on 20-30 large-scale projects that fall under 8 high-impact research areas.
And weve put an emphasis on breakthrough research: 26% exploratory research and 71% applied research, up from 6% and 49% in FY07.
To ensure these bets pay off, weve established internal review boards to help guide the process of converting discoveries into commercial offerings.
In addition, while we have some of the best minds in the world at HP Labs, we know that we dont have a monopoly on innovative ideas. So weve taken an open innovation approach and are actively partnering with leading companies, academic institutions, and government agencies.
Transition:
Now Id like to take a closer look at the 8 high-impact research areas weve identified.

4. We see these areas as being the most important to the future of technology and the future of HPand
We believe we have a significant opportunity to drive meaningful, even revolutionary progress
We are continually evolving our efforts. As of today, we have organized our research into eight discrete, yet often interconnected themes:
Digital Commercial Print
Content Transformation
Immersive Interaction
Information Management
Analytics
Cloud
Intelligent Infrastructure
and Sustainability
