Why use the Intel® Manycore Testing Lab?

Bring a first-class 40 core/80 thread software development environment into your classroom. Via authorized remote access, you and your students can engage with hands-on code testing on many cores and threads to demonstrate software scaling and conduct research supporting parallelism in the classroom and the workplace. Help to prepare your students to compete in the future job markets.

Lab includes Red Hat Enterprise Linux® OS, a complete suite of Intel’s software development tools, and more.
