• Inside the Intel® 10.1 Compilers: New Threadizer and New Vectorizer for Intel® Core™2 Processors

  This paper offers readers a unique opportunity to see the power of the new Intel® threadizer and vectorizer inside the 10.1 Intel® compilers.

• Parallelization Made Easier with Intel® Performance Tuning Utility

  Explore how the Intel® Performance Tuning Utility significantly improves on the data collection and display features available and adds capabilities needed for enabling and analysis of parallel execution.

• Parallel Software Development with Intel® Threading Analysis Tools

  Applying parallelism to software is a challenging task for developers. Find out how Intel® Threading Analysis Tools can help developers write high-performance parallel software in all of the phases of the development cycle.

• Intel® Performance Libraries: Multi-Core-Ready Software for Numeric-Intensive Computation

  As the complexity of microprocessors increases, learn how the Intel® performance libraries, Math Kernel Library (MKL) and the Integrated Performance Primitives (IPP) can greatly improve performance in this era of multi-processors, multi-cores and multi-computers.

• The Foundations for Scalable Multi-Core Software in Intel® Threading Building Blocks

  The Intel® Threading Building Blocks (Intel® TBB) are a template library designed to raise the level of abstraction for parallelism as developers port their code to multi-core platforms. Learn about its work-stealing task scheduler and scalable memory allocator, the basics of TBB's robust performance and scalability.

Multi-core parallelization examples and experience

• Methodology, Tools, and Techniques to Parallelize Large-Scale Applications: A Case Study

  These authors show you how advancements in threading analysis tools have made parallelization of large and complex applications an easier task than what it was a decade or two ago. They showcase their successful threading of the Intel® C++ Compiler which produced an average speedup of 2x in compiling a range of CPU2000 benchmarks.

• Future-Proof Data Parallel Algorithms and Software on Intel® Multi-Core Architecture

  This paper highlights the Ct API, a programming model that leverages the strengths of data parallel programming. The authors show how this API is an effective way to create scalable, future-proof applications without seriously compromising the language design or the large software investment by developers.

• Accelerating Video Feature Extractions in CBVIR on Multi-Core Systems

  Today's user-friendly and abundant video capture and storage techniques have resulted in an explosion of video data that needs to be managed. Our authors show how Content-Based Video Information Retrieval (CBVIR) can be accelerated to take full advantage of today's multi-core systems.

Multi-Core implications for operating systems

• Process Scheduling Challenges in the Era of Multi-Core Processors

  These authors examine a critical component of system software, the process scheduler, in today's multi-core environment. They show how optimal performance can be exploited by making the process scheduler aware of the multi-core topologies and task characteristics.
