Intel brings simplified, end-to-end parallelism to Microsoft Visual Studio* C/C++ developers with Intel® Parallel Studio 2011. Leveraging more than 25 years of parallel software and high-performance expertise, Intel provides advanced tools to optimize serial and parallel Windows* applications and compete in today’s multicore and tomorrow’s manycore industry.

• Ease parallelism implementation at every stage in the development cycle
• Leverage signifi cant investments in C/C++ applications and developer skills
• Minimize learning curve and improve productivity to accelerate return on hardware and software investments
• Support multiple ways to exploit parallelism in the compiler and libraries
• Optimize serial code, preserving investments in source code and development environments

Intel® Parallel Advisor is an innovative threading advisor for Microsoft Visual Studio* C++ developers that identifies areas in serial and parallel applications that can benefit most from parallelism. Use “what-if” analysis to simplify, demystify, and speed parallel application design, while exploring the cost and benefit before committing.

• Migrate serial applications to parallelism and take parallel applications to the next level
• Address confl icts such as race conditions and locks—before parallelism is applied
• Enable feature-rich applications
• Work with any C/C++ application
• Enable development of standards-based,cross-platform solutions that scale for multicore

Intel® Parallel Inspector 2011 is the easiest serial and multithreading error checking tool available for Microsoft Visual Studio* C/C++ developers, detecting both challenging threading bugs and memory errors for application reliability. Intel Parallel Inspector 2011 is part of Intel® Parallel Studio 2011, the ultimate all-in-one performance toolkit for serial and parallel C/C++ applications.

• Increase serial and threaded application reliability regardless of the threading method
• Avoid changing code, which is inconvenient and can change application behavior
• Simplify finding and fixing the cause of errors, including nondeterministic errors
• Help ensure that shipped applications run error-free on customer systems
• Reduce support costs and increase productivity

Intel® Parallel Composer 2011 delivers an optimized compiler with Intel® Parallel Building Blocks and Intel® Integrated Performance Primitives comprehensive threaded library to streamline development of reliable, fast serial and threaded applications. Applications vary, but in many instances a simple recompile results in a performance improvement of 20 percent or greater.

• Preserve existing investments and user skills
• Use the parallelism model that suits your needs with Intel® Parallel Building Blocks
• Simplify adding parallelism with the newest versions of Intel® Compiler and threaded libraries
• Save time and take advantage of multicore processors with automatic functions
• Support the entire spectrum of parallel expression from simple to complex, data to task

Intel® Parallel Amplifier 2011 speeds and simplifies finding multicore performance bottlenecks without knowing the processor architecture or assembly code. Fine-tune for optimal performance to fully exploit cores and support new capabilities. Intel Parallel Amplifier 2011 is part of Intel® Parallel Studio 2011, the ultimate all-in-one performance toolkit for serial and parallel C/C++ applications.

• Help build applications that scale for multicore and manycore.
• Get insight into performance hotspots and their calling sequences.
• Ensure legacy serial application performance has not declined with threading.
• Integrate with Microsoft Visual Studio.
• Increase application headroom for richer feature sets and next-gen innovation.
