Intel Parallelism Breakthrough Video Series

Designed for today’s serial applications and tomorrow’s software innovators.

Intel brings simplified, end-to-end parallelism to Microsoft Visual Studio* C/C++ developers with Intel Parallel Studio. Leveraging more than 25 years of parallel software and high-performance expertise, Intel provides advanced tools to optimize client applications. Create parallel applications for the desktop and compete in a multicore industry.

• End-to-end product suite for parallelism: Ease implementation at every stage in the development cycle for designing, coding, debugging, and tuning applications
• Forward scaling: Prepare applications to take advantage of multicore and scale for manycore
• Visual Studio and Visual C++ compatible: Leverages investment in the latest Visual Studio development environments (except Express editions) with multicore-based competitive edge
• Ease parallelism onramp: Minimize learning curve and improve productivity to accelerate return on hardware and software investments
• Support multiple ways to exploit parallelism: Increase flexibility with both data and task parallel programming

"Here at Trading Systems Lab, we got a 10% to 20% performance boost in the multimode trading simulator that’s used in our TSL Algo Auto-Design Platform by using the C++ compiler in Intel Parallel Studio. The compatibility with Microsoft Visual C++* is great, and we’re looking forward to using more parallelism features in Parallel Studio."
– Mike Barna
President
Trading Systems Lab

"Intel® Parallel Inspector and Intel® Parallel Amplifier greatly simplified the task of finding hotspots and memory leaks. We were pleased with the 2X overall performance improvement and the elimination of several previously unidentified memory leaks."
– Vlad Romashko

• Pragma-free syntax

  This four minute video shows how to invoke OpenMP 3.0 directives without the need to know pragma syntax.

• Source Checking

  In this four minute video we look at the Intel C++ compiler which is a part of Intel Parallel Studio, and see how easy it is to switch between the Microsoft and Intel compilers as well as find additional source code errors with the Intel compiler that otherwise would have gone undetected.

• Locks+Waits analysis

  We take a look at Intel Parallel Amplifier's ability to analyse critical sections of applications in this three minute video.

• A look at hotspot and concurrency analysis

  This three minute video examines hotspot and concurrency analysis within Intel Parallel Amplifier, the part of Intel Parallel Studio that helps tune applications.

• Debugging a known bug

  This four minute video shows how to use Intel Parallel Inspector to debug a known bug that is suspected to be a parallel programming error.

• OpenMP 3.0

  In this three minute video we examine the OpenMP 3.0 directives that are able to be used within Intel Parallel Composer

• Intel Integrated Performance Primitives

  A five minute overview of Intel Integrated Performance Primitives, a collection of routines that get better performance than simply using an optimising compiler on equivalent code.

• Intel Threading Building Blocks

  James Reinders, author of the O'Reilly book "Intel Threading Building Blocks", explains how Threaded Building Blocks can improve the parallelism of C++ applications

• Parallel terminology definitions

  In this six minute video we establish and define the terminology that will be used throughout successive videos in this series.

• Inspector Overview

  A three minute overview of Intel Parallel Inspector, the part of Intel Parallel Studio that finds memory and threading errors in serial and parallel programs.

• Composer Overview

  A five minute overview of the high-level features of Intel Parallel Composer, the part of Intel Parallel Studio that provides the compilers and libraries that are useful for implementing a parallel program.

• Advisor Overview

  A two minute overview of Intel Parallel Advisor, which helps programmers determine which parts of their programs to parallelise.

• Parallel Debugging Extensions

  This three minute video shows how to enable Intel Parallel Debugging Extensions within Intel Parallel Composer to locate bugs inside of a parallel application that would otherwise be difficult to find.

• The comprehensive solution for parallelism

  An introductory nine minute video that shows by example how Intel Parallel Studio extends Visual Studio and improves parallel programming.
