Acumem, a provider of intelligent software for single- and multi-core environments, today announced the launch of its new Acumem ThreadSpotter 2010 product.
Acumem is continuing to quickly develop and improve its technology and making the improvements available to customer. At SuperComputing 2009 Acumem released Acumem ThreadSpotter 2010.
ThreadSpotter 2010 brings new analysis capabilities in the form of suggestions of ways to improve performance by reducing cache pollution. Applications often fill the caches with data that is never reused before being evicted, and that therefore does not benefit from caching. ThreadSpotter now finds the locations in the code responsible for this cache pollution and suggests ways to avoid allocating cache space for the data. This improves performance by leaving more cache space for other data structures that do benefit from caching, and for other threads and applications that share the caches in multi-core systems.
