Unleashing the Power of High Performance Computing

Intel compilers are extremely popular with performance-minded developers who compile C, C++, or Fortran for the x86 architecture (32 or 64 bit). The quest for top performance is the key attribute that users single out. If you ask...

It seems obvious, right? All those cores in that CPU ready and waiting for your elegant, threaded and parallelized code to blast off, reducing execution time to a small fraction of what it used to be. Or that’s the thought...

C++ Performance Tuning with Intel Threading Building Blocks

In the highly competitive world of CAD/CAE where high performance is everything, software developers can now add real value by using an accelerated Python implementation. And I have some test results from DATADVANCE, known for...

So you’ve probably been using Python for prototyping data science and number-crunching jobs, but when it comes to putting code into production, you go for some variant of C. Why? Well, by its very nature, Python is...

The impact of data layout on performance can be significant. One opportunity to realize better performance exists in an important new capability of the latest version of the Intel® Math Kernel Library. This feature offers...

HDL vs. OpenCL – how to choose?

So far, we’ve only scratched the surface of what’s possible

They really do deliver a customizable hardware accelerator for everyone

Intel System Studio is an incredible collection of tools, and it’s all available for free (90 days at a time). If you’re involved in system bring up, or whole system debug, the power of this toolset is something worth trying.

Urban informatics, “Array of Things” to play key roles

SC17 puts the spotlight on the Square Kilometer Array project

Video highlights from the Intel HPC Developer Conference.

Most people don’t want to be the uncool one to raise their hand and ask a question, but in many cases we really should. These occasional “Raise Your Hand and Ask” posts highlight cool “buzzwords” you may have heard.

Did you know that processors, and other packaged integrated circuits, often contain more than one die (aka chip)? It’s not something you can tell by looking at them.

More than ever, developments in high performance computing are affecting the entire computer science field and touching every facet of our lives.

When I want the best performance on x86/x86-64 processors while using C, C++, Fortran, or Python, Intel tools have no equal. Intel tools can also help with C# and Java optimization. Starting this week, we can now kick the tires of...

Feeling knowledgeable? I have two different opportunities to put your software development knowledge to work. They could not be more different! Not-so-serious first. In preparing for this blog, I wasted enough time to become the...

Imagine that we know an object well when it starts out, and we can measure activity and forces applied to it, and we can simulate how it would react and change. In such a case, we’ve created a “Digital Twin” for our...

Note: Most people don’t want to be the uncool one to raise their hand and ask a question, but in many cases we really should. These occasional “Raise Your Hand and Ask” posts highlight cool “buzzwords” you may have heard. My aim...
