Hi -- I'm joining the ISN blog community to share some research efforts from Intel labs that may be of interest to curious software developers. Today I wanted to give a brief summary of one visual computing application that we are investigating in a project we usually call "3D content creation for amateurs." In this project [...]

TechEd09: How parallel is the Microsoft conference?
By Michael J Huelskoetter (62 posts) on November 6, 2009 at 4:26 am

If you look at the Microsoft's Tech-Ed web page you'll find out that there's a lot of things which are parallel. For instance all the different tech session run in parallel so that as much as possible topics can be covered during Tech-Ed. But also the huge showcase is somehow parallel: there are many companies [...]

Divorce, it happens. How do you manage divorce with Facebook and so many other connections in life? What if you keep finding out things you would rather not know via social networking sites? A simple example, my ex and her family are visible to me through our common children on Facebook. Honestly I would rather [...]

Use of rand() in OpenMP parallel sections
By Andrey Karpov (7 posts) on November 5, 2009 at 2:57 pm
Comments (3)
The error consists in the fact that every parallel thread has its own seed and if no special initialization is carried out, rand() function will return the same value in all the threads. Most likely, this will not be the required result.

OpenMP and exceptions
By Andrey Karpov (7 posts) on November 5, 2009 at 2:57 pm
Comments (1)
You can use exceptions inside parallel regions. But they mustn't leave these parallel regions. Exceptions should be caught and processed inside a parallel region by using try/catch. If the exception leaves the parallel region it will cause fail and most surely program crash.

Change of type alignment and the consequences
By Andrey Karpov (7 posts) on November 5, 2009 at 2:56 pm
Comments (0)
When porting software one of the task a developer faces is to change types' sizes and rules of their alignments. Not so long ago we provided support of the diagnosing rule allowing you to detect data structures which use memory on 64-bit inefficiently in Viva64 analyzer. But there is still some research work to be [...]

Hi Everyone, I thought that I would post this since one of my co-workers at Cadence will be gave a webinar on his experience parallelizing an existing application. The application and algorithms involved are really complex. It was especially interesting because it involves legacy code and also the development environment was Windows unlike many EDA applications [...]

Five role playing exercises to introduce parallelism concepts
By Robert Chesebrough (Intel) (8 posts) on November 5, 2009 at 11:12 am
Comments (2)
Since the kickoff of the High School Parallelism bootcamp this summer, I've received several requests for a write up of the five role playing activities we used. The activities put students in the place of procesor cores and had them perform tasks in parallel. These activities proved to be popular among many of the [...]

Our community has snagged some new high-quality stuff lately starting with Shmuel Gershon's dynamically entitled blog: "Intel KVM: This is your SOL on Steroids". Shmuel is pretty knowledgeable about this new Intel® AMT™ feature, to be available on some 2010 platforms, and a big fan as well. I think we'll be hearing more from him [...]
