New Intel Products Simplify and Speed Software Development for Multi-Core Processors.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 the availability of two software products that help developers efficiently create more reliable, high-performing applications that speed up a computer's responsiveness. The Intel[R] C++ Compiler and Fortran Professional Editions bring together a unique combination of highly optimizing compilers, performance libraries and the Intel[R] Threading Building Blocks. The products feature new automatic support for accelerating program performance on Intel's latest multi-core processors. Applications containing 3-D graphics or video are automatically accelerated through the use of vectors via Streaming SIMD Extensions (architecture) Streaming SIMD Extensions - (SSE) Intel Corporation's floating point SIMD extention of their Pentium microprocessor architecture. SSE was formerly know as KNI (Katmai New Instructions). It was introduced with the Pentium III. Intel Pentium III. ipoem. (SSE (1) An earlier full-screen editor in OS/2. (2) (Streaming SIMD Extensions) A series of additional instructions built into Pentium CPU chips for improved multimedia performance by performing mathematical operations on multiple sets of data at the ), including the latest SSE 4 instructions. Application performance is also accelerated by multi-core processors through the use of multiple threads. Combining the use of vectors and threads and integrating them with a technology known as loop transformation generates greater performance on multi-core processors without requiring developers to rewrite their code. "Combining these capabilities in a cooperative and coordinated manner brings our customers added performance benefits and compiler reliability, which in turn gives greater PC responsiveness for gamers and everyday PC users," said Kevin J. Smith, director of the Intel Compiler Products. "This project has undergone extensive validation and application testing application testing - system testing with Intel customers and we're excited about the results our customers are seeing in their applications." The combined capabilities also provide benefits that extend beyond multi-core optimizations by assisting developers in locating vulnerabilities that would otherwise go undetected, such as uninitialized variables and possible buffer overruns. The Intel[R] C++ Professional Edition for Windows(1), Linux(1) and Mac OS(1) X combines the Intel compiler with the Intel[R] Math Kernel Library, the 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. and the Intel[R] Threading Building Blocks. 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
compiling program, compiler - (computer science) a program that decodes instructions written in a higher order language and produces an assembly language program 10.0 now includes Microsoft Visual Studio Microsoft Visual Studio is Microsoft's flagship software development product for computer programmers. It centers on an integrated development environment which lets programmers create standalone applications, web sites, web applications, and web services that run on any platforms , which provides the visual development environment to create, edit, build and debug To correct a problem in hardware or software. Debugging software means locating the errors in the source code (the program logic). Debugging hardware means finding errors in the circuit design (logical circuits) or in the physical interconnections of the circuits. Fortran applications. The new products are all available today with suggested prices ranging from $599 to $1,599. Upgrades to the Professional Editions from the prior version of Intel compilers or libraries are available for limited time through resellers worldwide. Intel also announced a new package for students that include all of these products as well as Intel[R] VTune Performance Analyzer, Intel[R] Thread Checker and Intel[R] Thread Profiler in one discounted package for students who qualify. Intel[R] Software provides resources, technologies, products and services developers need to create innovative products and industry-leading software solutions with enhanced business value and are designed to run best on Intel platforms.
