This article is a brief summarizing "List of Links" to find tool documentation, with a short explanation of Intel's software development tool packaging.
This graphic explains the way Intel tools are packaged; you have the option of downloading and installing individual tools, or downloading and installing the 'bundles'.
For example, from this graphic we see that Intel(R) Cluster Studio XE is a superset of Intel(R) Parallel Studio XE.
A disadvantage with downloading and installing the larger packages is that the larger packages are not updated as frequently as the individual component packages; however you can download and install individual package updates as needed, without breaking compatibility. To find the latest versions of all packages, you can visit Intel® Software Development Products Registration Center.
(NOTE: you may need a license in order to get access to this tools list)
