Scandpower Petroleum Technology AS: "Intel® Fortran compiler version 9.0 has increased the performance of our software by 5-10% relative to Intel Fortran compiler version 8.1 and 20-40% relative to Compaq Visual Fortran version 6.1. We have seen that the resulting executable size is reduced 10% with 9.0 relative to 8.1 and that the /O2 optimization level now makes very efficient code for the memory/cache intensive part of our source code. For floating point intensive code, the Intel® Compiler v9.0 options increase the performance relative to Intel Compiler v8.1 by 6%. This was quite unexpected as the SSE2 code generated by 8.1 already was impressive and looked optimal. Also we are very happy about the new run-time options for checking of initialized variables that has increased the reliability of our software. Finally, it is very convenient that Intel supports compilers for both Windows* and Linux*, porting an application between two platforms has never been easier."

Hewlett Packard Corporation: "We have been testing the new Intel® compiler v9.0 for the quantum chemistry application Molpro (http://www.molpro.net). This code consists of roughly 700000 lines of Fortran code. We focused on the build time performance, stability of the compiler and the performance of the generated executables. We compared these numbers against the Intel v7.1 and the Intel v8.1 compilers. We found the Intel v9.0 compiler to generate the fastest code, on average about 5-10% faster than the Intel v8.1 compiler and roughly 15-20% faster than the Intel v7 compiler. For high levels of optimization (-O3) the improvement was up to 30%. At the same time the build time did not increase. The Intel v9 compiler also proved to be more robust. The number of problems decreased about 30%."
Michael Ehrig
Hewlett Packard Corporation

NextLimit Corporation: "Porting our code to an Intel® Itanium® 2 processor proved to be a straightforward task. Our code was originally built using GCC and Microsoft compilers and the switch to the Intel compiler version 9.0 was practically seamless. This helped us to focus on the important aspects of our software development pipeline - testing and optimization. Furthermore some of the diagnostic messages produced by the compiler during a failed build proved more informative and helped us to isolate and fix the problem more speedily. Using the Intel compiler on Linux* led to a dramatic speedup over our previous GCC builds. These benefits are critical for the computationally demanding simulation tasks our software products perform. New features in the Intel compiler version 9.0 such as SSP promise to help provide better performance to our customers who are now simulating with multiple threads on multi-processor/core systems."
Michael Blain

Pixar: "We are optimizing RenderMan’s core to be very scalable for future multi-core architectures. Intel’s Threading Tools have accelerated our development cycle dramatically. Intel’s Thread Checker for example, helped identify potential threading issues very quickly, in days compared to weeks if done otherwise. Thread Profiler, on the other hand, has helped us understand threading performance problems so we could fix them to improve scalability. The Intel Threading Tools are now an integral part of our development process."

Alias: "We found Intel Thread Checker to be an indispensable aid for analyzing threaded code. We were impressed at how well it handled an application as large and complex as Maya. Based on this experience I plan to use this tool on future threading projects. Intel Thread Profiler was very useful for analyzing bottlenecks in our threaded code. Thread Profiler quickly pinpointed problem areas and showed us the reasons for the slowdown, so we were able to restructure the code for better threaded performance."

Parallel Programming Workshop: "During development of Windows and Linux applications, it is absolutely necessary to verify OpenMP parallelizations with a race-condition detection tool like Intel Thread Checker with its patented error detection capability and broad OS support."

Scansoft: "We used Intel Threading Tools including Intel Thread Profiler to realize improved threaded application performance of Omni Page 15 running on Intel multi-core platforms. We look forward to using Intel Thread Profiler with its critical path analysis and selective magnification of important time regions on future thread optimization projects."

Ritual Entertainment: "[Intel] Thread Checker helped us find non-thread safe functions that allowed two threads to modify the same memory without proper synchronization. We couldn't have gotten the networking up and running as quickly and as efficiently without Thread Checker. Thread Checker is simply an awesome tool and we are not going to develop multi-threaded code without it."

Siemens Medical Solutions: "Intel Thread Checker helped Siemens by identifying issues in software we develop and in software we purchase from third parties. We use Intel Thread Checker to improve the quality of our software and look forward to expanding the use of the tool in more of our software development groups."

ACUSIM Software: "Using Intel Thread Checker we discovered 2 elusive bugs on the very first day, as well as a number of inconsistencies, and opportunities for performance improvement. We were pleasantly surprised because our product, AcuSolve, has been running successfully on multiple platforms for many years. We now have incorporated it in our basic development and release process."

Sony Network Applications: "Intel software tools maximized performance for Sony’s DSD Direct audio conversion algorithm. Intel’s VTune Analyzer helped to identify performance bottlenecks. The Intel compiler’s OpenMP support and Thread Profiler provided us an easy multi-threading environment. The tuned algorithm runs 3.5x faster on a Pentium D processor.

SDSC: "One can very easily determine the overall expense of communication, and further get a breakdown into the amount of time spent in each MPI routine. The degree and cause of load imbalance is also easily determined at any number of processes. One particularly useful feature is the Message Statistics display, giving an overall view on a grid of which processors are communicating with each other. Another nice feature is the ability to see, and focus on, the amount of time spent in communication mode as the simulation proceeds."

Computational Astrophysics Laboratory: "Intel Trace Analyzer and Collector for Linux helped to drastically improve the performance of RIKEN’s molecular dynamics cluster software. We were able to shorten MPI communication time by half by finding and removing bottlenecks with non-blocking communication patterns. Since Intel Trace Analyzer and Collector can embed instrumentation into the program, we can tell the execution time of each function and its load balance, which enabled us to very easily understand where to optimize. Intel’s MPI and Cluster tools provide us the best cluster development environment."

University of Seoul: "We evaluated the Cluster Toolkit and concluded that we would get much better performance on the Intel platform with the Intel software tools. For each application, Intel’s compiler gave us better performance than before and using the Intel cluster Tools let us know how the cluster system ran and how to improve it. We purchased the Intel Cluster Toolkit a few months ago. It is one of the most important reasons to purchase our new Intel based cluster system in 2006 and 2007."

EM Software & Systems: "Our FEKO electromagnetics code runs on various parallel environments (e.g., clusters of different sizes, shared memory machines) and utilizes complex numerical algorithms that are non-trivial to parallelize. Intel Trace Analyzer and Collector have proven to be very valuable tools to help understand FEKO parallel communication patterns and consequently in optimizing the message passing call that result in an extremely well performing electromagnetics ISV cluster application."
