Intel Integrated Performance Primitives

January 1, 2006, 12:00am PST

A five minute overview of Intel Integrated Performance Primitives, a collection of routines that get better performance than simply using an optimizing compiler on equivalent code.
Successful parallel programming

January 1, 2006, 12:00am PST

Intel's James Reinders presents some recurring themes for developers looking to improve their game when it comes to programming parallel systems.
Three must-knows for parallelism

January 1, 2006, 12:00am PST

Scalability, correctness and maintainability are all vital issues when it comes to managing multicore systems, says Intel's James Reinders.
Intel Threading Building Blocks

January 1, 2006, 12:00am PST

James Reinders, author of the O'Reilly book "Intel Threading Building Blocks", explains how Threaded Building Blocks can improve the parallelism of C++ applications.
Abstract approaches to parallelism

January 1, 2006, 12:00am PST

One of the things to avoid when it comes to parallelism is working with raw threads. Abstraction offers a way around the issue, by avoiding the need to deal with low-level details of parallel systems, as James Reinders explains.

Multicore has many benefits for a surprising range of applications, with real ROI and other engaging benefits. Find out what these are, and how to communicate them.
Are you ready to ship?

January 1, 2006, 12:00am PST

This three minute video shows how to use Intel Parallel Inspector to check for data races, deadlocks, and other bugs prior to shipping your software.
Are multicore processors here to stay?

January 1, 2006, 12:00am PST

Intel director James Reinders looks at the power, memory, and instruction-level parallelism walls that are forcing the move to multicore processors, and explains why sometimes it makes sense to underclock, not overclock.
Understanding task and data parallelism

January 1, 2006, 12:00am PST

Intel director James Reinders explains the difference between task and data parallelism, and how there is a way around the limits imposed by Amdahl's Law.
APIs for parallel programming

January 1, 2006, 12:00am PST

Day-long, painful, annual budget meetings can be a thing of the past. Cast aside the 'set in stone' budget for a 'rolling forecast,' which allows you to change your budget as business needs evolve and new opportunities arise.
LCD's cut energy costs

September 15, 2005, 12:52am PDT

LCDs (liquid crystal displays) are more cool-looking than traditional CRTs (cathode ray tubes), but they cost twice the price. However, when you add energy costs into your TCO calculation, the difference in cost shrinks significantly.
