Intel Parallel Studio for C++ programmers

Parallel Studio 2011

	Introducing Intel® Parallel Studio 2011 A comprehensive, all-in-one toolkit for Microsoft Visual Studio* C/C++ developers, Intel® Parallel Studio 2011 simplifies the analysis, compiling, debugging, error-checking, and tuning of your serial and threaded apps. With Intel Parallel Studio, you get everything you need to optimize legacy serial code, exploit multicore, and scale for manycore. What's new in Intel® Parallel Studio 2011 Intel^® Parallel Building Blocks — Expanded threading options enable access multiple ways to exploit parallelism with a set of comprehensive parallel models, that support Intel^® Cilk™ Plus, Intel^® Threading Building Blocks, Intel^® Array Building Blocks (in beta September 2010), all of which are portable, scalable, reliable, and future proof. Intel^® Parallel Advisor 2011 — Receive guidance during the design stage to speed the parallel prototyping phase, improve efficiency, and gain confidence in an approach to incorporate threading. Numerous suite improvements — Additional enhancements were made throughout the suite, including support for Microsoft Visual Studio* 2010, Windows* 7, and the addition of Intel Premier Support.

Innovative threading Assistant Intel® Parallel Advisor 2011 Intel^® Parallel Advisor 2011 simplifies threading and transforms your code by identifying those areas in your serial and parallel applications where parallelism would have the greatest impact. *Now supports Microsoft Windows 7 and Visual Studio* 2010 Intel^® Parallel Advisor 2011 is an advanced threading tool for Microsoft Visual Studio* C/C++ developers planning to add threading to serial or parallel applications.** Providing a step-by-step proposal, Intel Parallel Advisor helps Microsoft Visual Studio* C++ developers simplify, demystify, and speed parallel application design and implementation. It also evaluates the performance and correctness of that proposal, providing insight that helps you make better design decisions before major effort has been committed. Benefits: Simplifies transitioning serial applications to parallelism and takes parallel applications to the next level Enables better design decisions for feature-rich applications by analyzing parallelization proposals Finds and addresses conflicts such as race conditions and locks - before parallelism is applied Compatible with any C/C++ application Smoothes development of standards-based, cross-platform solutions designed to scale for multicore and manycore Link to Intel web-site for more details
Optimizing compiler and libraries Intel® Parallel Composer 2011 Intel^® Parallel Composer 2011 includes an optimizing C / C++ compiler and a comprehensive set of parallel development models to satisfy a wide range of parallelism requirements called Intel^® Parallel Building Blocks. Together, these tools help enhance performance and streamline parallel application development. Intel Parallel Composer 2011 equips novice and advanced developers to create faster applications that exploit multicore and enable portability, reliability, scalability, and simplicity. An invaluable addition to the Microsoft Visual Studio* C/C++ developer toolset, Intel Parallel Composer 2011 delivers support for new language extensions and offers extensive capabilities for simplified implementation of task and data parallelism. Though applications vary, in many instances a simple recompile results in a performance improvement of 10 percent or greater. Benefits: Improved application performance with advanced compiler options and libraries Supports Intel^® Parallel Building Blocks, a set of comprehensive parallel models, which provides choices for how to quickly implement robust parallelism. Saves time and takes advantage of multicore processors with automatic functions. Compatible with Microsoft Visual Studio*, preserving user skills, while safeguarding existing investments. Supports the entire spectrum of parallel expression from simple to complex, data to task, by offering application-class-specific, pre-threaded, and thread-safe libraries.
