Intel Outlines Software Programs for Apple Developers to Boost Multicore, Threaded Application Design; New Intel Tools to Help Apple Developers Maximize Application Performance.SANTA CLARA Santa Clara, city, Cuba Santa Clara (sän`tä klä`rä), city (1994 est. pop. 217,000), capital of Villa Clara prov., central Cuba. , Calif. -- Intel Corporation (company) Intel Corporation - A US microelectronics manufacturer. They produced the Intel 4004, Intel 8080, Intel 8086, Intel 80186, Intel 80286, Intel 80386, Intel 486 and Pentium microprocessor families as well as many other integrated circuits and personal computer networking today announced new software development tools and resources through its Intel(R) Software Network. These tools and resources will help Apple developers take advantage of Intel(R) Core(TM) Duo processor See Core Duo and Intel Core. technologies to maximize application performance on the new Intel-based Mac A Macintosh computer that is powered by Intel x86 CPUs, the same family of chips used in Windows and Linux PCs. See Mactel. platforms. The special beta versions of the Intel(R) Fortran Compiler Noun 1. Fortran compiler - a compiler for programs written in FORTRAN compiling program, compiler - (computer science) a program that decodes instructions written in a higher order language and produces an assembly language program , Intel(R) C++ Compiler, Intel(R) Math Kernel Library and Intel(R) Integrated Performance Primitives Overview Intel's Integrated Performance Library (Intel IPP) is a library of multi-core-ready, optimized software functions for multimedia and data processing applications, produced by Intel. are available now. Intel will also provide other resources to assist with software optimization, dual core threading and migration information. More information on these programs is available at www.intel.com/software/apple. "Intel is pleased to offer Apple developers a free trial of our products through a special beta program, and we look forward to developer feedback prior to introducing our products in the coming months," said William Savage, general manager of Intel's Software Products Division. "Our highly optimized compilers and libraries yield significant performance advantages for applications and take advantage of the opportunities made available through multi-core and multi-threaded environments." "High performance scientific and creative customers need to squeeze every last drop of performance out of their systems," said Ron Okamoto, Apple's vice president of Worldwide Developer Relations. "We're thrilled that Intel has brought their respected suite of tools to help Apple developers maximize the performance of their applications on Intel-based Macs." These development tools are integrated into Apple's Xcode development environment and offer an alternative to existing tools and compilers. The Intel Fortran compiler Intel Fortran Compiler - Fortran compiler developed by Intel. It generates code for IA-32, Intel 64, Itanium 2 processors. Supporting operating systems: Linux, Microsoft Windows and Mac OS X. External links
Intel augments these compilers with advanced support for threading through OpenMP(1) and auto-parallelism capabilities. The Intel Math Kernel Library (Intel(R) MKL MKL Math Kernel Library (Intel) MKL Much Klown Love MKL Multi-space Karhunen-Loeve (transform) MKL Jackson, TN, USA - McKellar Field (Airport Code) MKL Modeling Kernel Language ) is a set of highly optimized mathematical routines designed for engineering, science, and financial applications that require maximum performance on Intel processors. The Intel Integrated Performance Primitives (Intel(R) IPP (Internet Printing Protocol) A protocol for printing and managing print jobs over the Internet using HTTP. Initially conceived by Novell, Xerox and others, the IETF made it a standard in 2000 that includes authentication and encryption. See printing protocol and LPD. ) is a software library of highly optimized functions for multimedia, audio, video, speech, computer vision, image and signal processing. Based on Intel's proven suite of software development products for other platforms, each product has been transitioned to Mac OS X's Xcode development environment to ensure complete fidelity with other Intel platforms, giving Mac OS X developers a familiar base to use Intel's powerful development tools. The suite of development tools from Intel will be available for purchase in the second quarter of 2006, and are now available for free trial in the special beta program. "We have seen exceptional results during our thorough testing of the beta versions of the Intel compilers for Mac OS X," said Jeff Livesay, Absoft Corporation's chief operating officer Chief Operating Officer (COO) The officer of a firm responsible for day-to-day management, usually the president or an executive vice-president. . "Absoft will bundle market-proven capabilities for Apple developers, including our Fx2 Debugger, with Intel Fortran and C++ compilers and libraries as part of our efforts, together with Intel, to deliver strong support for software developers. Scientists can expect great things from these new platforms." Intel, the world leader in silicon innovation, develops technologies, products and initiatives to continually advance how people work and live.
