Survey: Running shaders (data-parallel kernels) on multi-core CPUs?
Intel Software Network Blogs —
Authority: 555
Many graphics programmers are familiar with the benefits of running shader programs, typically written in languages like GLSL or HLSL, on GPU hardware. Intel has found some use for software that runs shaders on the CPU cores in order to achieve higher platform-level performance (i.e. on systems with Intel Integrated ...1 day ago -

A bit more than a month ago, the first Russian online-seminar " Intel Parallel Studio workflow" by Intel took place. Kirill Mavrodiev, who was participating in the event, demonstrated how one can parallelize an application as a black box. In other words, a typical case was examined when a developer deals with an ...1 week ago -
Fun with Locks and Waits - Performance Tuning
Intel Software Network Blogs —
Authority: 555
At times threaded software requires some critical sections, mutexes or locks. Do developers always know which of the objects in their code has the most impact? If I want to examine my software to minimize the impact or restructure data to eliminate some of these synchronization objects and improve performance, ...1 week ago -

Analyzing Thread Dependencies using Intel® Parallel Amplifier
Intel Software Network Blogs —
Authority: 555
Intel® Parallel Amplifier is an excellent tool for identifying hotspots and measuring CPU utilization. Using Amplifier’s Concurrency analysis it’s very easy to find the places in an application that poorly utilize the CPU, but root-causing these issues is often more complex. To do this, you need to understand ...2 weeks ago -
Threading and the Intel® IPP Library – part 3 of 3
Intel Software Network Blogs —
Authority: 555
OpenMP Threading and Intel IPP The low-level primitives within the IPP library generally represent basic atomic operations. This limits threading within the library to ~15-20% of the primitives. Intel OpenMP is used to implement internal threading and is enabled, by default, when you use one of the multi-threaded ...2 weeks ago -

One of my greatest problems, outside of my tendency toward wordiness, is over researching a topic. Sometimes this research gets to the point where I not only find the answer myself, but have had so much time pass that the topic is no longer relevant. So in an attempt to break this cycle of obsessive behavior, I’m ...2 weeks ago -
