String Functions: Primitive Excitement Beyond the C!
I have avoided talking about the Intel Performance Primitives (IPP) string functions for months now. After all, how exciting can string functions be? Unfortunately, they sometimes are more “exciting” than one would like. How many times have you had to roll your own custom functions in a pinch. Let’s face …
The Future of Parallel Software Development
Intel’s James Reinders speaks with Go Parallel editor Stephen Wellman about the future of parallel software development. Reinders and Wellman talk about the evolution of developer tools as well as broader trends in parallelism, including mobility, hardware and more.
Analyst: Intel Processors Outperform ARM
Intel’s parallel applications processors for smartphones, tablets and other mobile devices outperform those licensed from ARM Holdings by Nvidia, Qualcomm and Samsung, according to Allied Business Intelligence, Inc. (ABI Research, Austin, Texas). On its device teardown site ABI Research recently compared dual- and quad-core parallel application processors for smartphones and …
Converting A Serial Quicksort Algorithm Into Parallel
Intel’s parallel programming gurus have written a book that teaches parallel programming. including sample code. Jeff Cogswell explores the techniques needed to convert a serial algorithm into a parallel. Three of Intel’s parallel programming gurus, Michael McCool, Arch Robison and James Reinders have written an excellent book called “Structured Parallel …
Intel’s James Reinders Discusses His Two Newest Books, Parallel Programming for Xeon Phi, C and C++
Intel’s James Reinders answers questions about parallel software development for the Xeon Phi platform as well as advice on how to better develop or C and C++. James talks about his two latest books, including “Intel Xeon Phi Coprocessor High Performance Programming,” and “Structured Parallel Programming: Patterns for Efficient Computation.”
Demo: Frequency Analysis Using Integrated Performance Primitives
Part of an ongoing series showing what parallel tools can do Let’s pick up three neat tools from the Intel parallel arsenal. The first is cilk_spawn, which spins up a new thread to do some work. The second, cilk::reducer_opadd, provides a safe way to signal other parts of an application. …
Intel Processors Widen Lead at Computex
Intel is already two generations ahead of its competition in multi-core processor technology. The company has shipped three dimensional (3-D) Tri-Gate 22-nanometer chips since 2011, a feat that its competitors are still only promising. This week Intel is demonstrating those technologies put to work in mainstream tablets, smartphones and novel …
Cray Unveils Xeon-Powered Budget Supercomputer
Legendary Cray Supercomputer has announced a new low-priced “budget” model aimed at Fortune 1000 enterprises. The Cray XC30-AC (for air-cooled) uses Xeon E5-2600 multi-core main processors and can accelerate parallel applications with Xeon Phi coprocessors. “Our new Cray XC30-AC supercomputer was designed for technical enterprise customers, giving them the ability …
Advance Report: Xeon Phi to Top Global HPC Contest
An Intel Xeon and Xeon Phi powered Tianhe-2 from the Guangzhou Supercomputer Center (Guangdong, China) will crest the Top500 List next week at the International Supercomputing Conference 2013 (June 16-20, Leipzig, Germany). That’s according to the same sources that last year correctly predicted the fastest supercomputer in 2012 would be …
Intel’s James Reinders Talks OpenMP, Developer Tools and GPUs
Intel’s James Reinders sat down with Go Parallel editor Stephen Wellman at the Intel Software event last month. James and Stephen discuss a number of topics including Vectorization, GPUs, OpenMP as well as Intel’s new developer tools.
