I'm attending the Intel Developer Forum this week in San Francisco this week. I'll try to note comments on some of the talks I attend. Sun gave a chalk talk on their C/C++ tool chain called Studio. The talk was given by Vijay Tatkar, who has been with Sun for over 20 years doing compiler work.

Right after his 50 minutes session at GCDC’08 talking about DirectX optimizations for multi-core platforms we had the chance to interview Intel fellow Leigh Davies. Our questions we asked him were quite obvious: What was your session all about? How can developers optimize their software?

I’m Gunjan Rawal. I am a part of the Intel Software Network team and this is my first post. The first post is typically the hardest to write, I spent a lot of time wondering what I am going to say in the first post – Formula 1?… The best Thai food I ever had? (Nope!!).

There are a lot of web-based Intel resources which deliver interesting information regarding game and application development. Today I will share a bunch of cool Intel websites where you find useful tips, deep insight and free downloads. The webpage of Intel Software Development Products provides a really good overview.

Performance, Analysis, Threading and Intel Developer Forum - What do all these have in common? Keep reading and I will answer this in my blog. First let me introduce myself. I joined Intel back in 1992. In my years at Intel I have always been interested in parallel programming and parallel computing.

Wow, time flies around here.  I was thinking it’s been a while since I last looked at my task scheduler experiments: a little vacation here, teaching at the O’Reilly Open Source convention there, and a little customer work stuffed around the edges can put a project completely out of mind.

This blog entry is intended to help you better understand the way concurrent vector works with the memory and how to use it wisely for your program to work faster or consume less memory. The concurrency comes with the price Let’s open Threading Building Blocks (TBB) reference manual at point

Intel released a new version of its Linux-compatible, open source library for multi-core C++ development. Version 2.1 of Intel Threading Building Blocks (TBB) offers performance improvements, adds a portable affinity mechanism, and improves the task scheduler to ease development for GUIs, network

Have you ever confronted compiler or linker errors while building a Intel(R) Threading Building Blocks (TBB) based application with Microsoft* Visual Studio*? What was the problem there? Perhaps the path to the TBB headers was absent? Or TBB libraries were not added to the project settings?

The TBB class task was designed for high-performance implementations of the TBB templates.  It's efficiency, particularly its emphasis on continuation-passing style, comes at some price in convenience.  Rick Molloy of Microsoft has posted a description of a task_group interface that Microsoft is
