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
Software Development Manager
OpenCascade S.A.S.

• Using lambda functions

  This five minute video explores how to use lambda functions in concert with Threaded Building Blocks to make parallel code more readable.

• Pragma-free syntax

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

• 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.
