Processors with multiple cores are commonplace these days, which has created a need for new tools that make parallel programming easier. To help programmers write code that makes use of multiple cores, Intel has released Intel Parallel Studio, which works hand-in-hand with Microsoft Visual Studio. During eWEEK Labs’ tests, Intel Parallel Studio effectively identifed and helped remediate problems in code, enabling developers to fine-tune programs for use with multiple cores.
Intel Parallel Studio consists of the following components:
–Parallel Inspector: an analysis tool that will locate threading and memory problems.
–Parallel Composer: the set of tools that includes the Intel C++ compiler and associated libraries.
–Parallel Amplifier: an analysis tool that analyzes the performance of your program.
