New Windows Parallel Dev Environment
Intel is soliciting Windows workstation and server users to kick the tires on the beta-release of its Windows development environment for the 60-core Xeon Phi coprocessor. Buying a Xeon Phi co-processor card for your Xeon-based workstation or server gets you free access to all Intel’s parallel compilers, profilers, performance analyzers …
Parallel Success Starts With Proper Planning
“Measure twice; cut once.” That maxim of carpentry is also good advice for parallel programming, according to a recent technical paper from Intel. Taking maximum advantage of a Many Integrated Core (MIC) coprocessor requires careful design of algorithm, data structure and architecture, warns “Intel Xeon Phi Application Design and Implementation …
Put Your Hands in the Air or Compute With Stare
Coders from all over the world are busting their best moves using gesture control, facial recognition and augmented reality and voice control for “breakthrough” PC apps in hopes of winning a $150,000 grand prize in the emerging area of “perceptual computing.” Perceptual computing hopes to redefine how users interact with …
Best, Brightest Parallel Students Work for “Betterment of Life on Earth”
Who will help create the next-generation of faster, higher resolution parallel computing models to help counter climate change, global warming and ozone layer damage? A good bet is one of the 11 student standouts recently chosen for prestigious summer internships in parallel computational science by the National Center for Atmospheric …
Wanted: Energy-Efficient Supercomputers
Who says super-fast computing has to be energy-wasting computing? That challenging question is at the core of a discussion workshop on large-scale parallel processing at the IEEE International Parallel and Distributed Processing Symposium in Boston May 20-24. Funding agencies want 50 times more energy-efficiency than today’s high-powered computers (HPCs). The …
Data Deluge Bottlenecking Breakthroughs
Data complexity and lack of scalability of underlying algorithms is bottlenecking the nation’s ability to analyze and apply massive amounts of science and engineering data for new breakthroughs, according to the U.S. Department of Energy. The DOE says translating the unprecedented flow of data from experiments and simulations – much …
Anytime, Anywhere Video, Courtesy of Clean Code
Bigger code generates more and more complex bugs, which can wreck reliability and slow time to market. That was the problem facing Envivio. The global tech company delivers millions of content streams to hundreds of different styles of mobile phones, set top boxes, and PC platforms, on behalf of content …
Mere Mortals: Compile Fortran, C, C++ like a Ninja
Highly optimized computing routines are often associated with low-level programming. Assembly code, intrinsic functions, OS-level multithreading interfaces and other sharp weapons used by ”ninja programmers” are believed necessary for penetrating deep into hardware and snatching every FLOP — especially when optimization is performed for a computing accelerator. In this case, …
