Amit		 Intel coming with multi/many core processors need developers to write code using parrallelism and multi-threadting. Application softwares are request and response products and our end-user (Client) must accept the need to re-write the existing applications to introduce parrallelism. End seultrs have an impression that buying new systems with multi core processors will make everything fast on their desktop. And they do not und erstand that since the existing application is not compitable enough to support the new hardware and needs to be re-written, Intel needs to provide support to IT vendors in minimizing the cost for introducing the parrallelism in existing applications so that customers ( end users) can enjoy the power of new multi core processors. In last one decade most of the SMB companies invested a huge amoun in IT and with the introduction of new machines old applications seems to be obsolete and it requires a fresh investment to tcatch up the new computing power, for which customer is not ready. Hence responsibility lies with Intel to come up with methodology and tools those can help achiving the parrallelism in existing systems.

P C N Rao		 Our elders said-"sky is the limit".. Not now .. one can reach the planet and beyond
Robert De Bono talked about the lateral thinking .. if you want to do something .. set the target and do reverse calculations to ensure that the things are achieved as per the time set.
The hings have changed .. thought people have the same life span, the aspirations have changed .. want to do more things.. achieve more in less time.
Even for the companies to be ahead of the market and to be number unlike earlier times intuitions and just earlier experience are not sufficient...They want to work on actual data / mine thru the various / huge data and analyse the same in fastest possible time...
What is the solutions??
Simple.. Go parallel.
Though this concept existed earlier in the form of super compution, was very costly and used for scientific / research purpose.
Now in the form of Intel it has come as a boon form small , medium and big companies. Small cost ... big benefit.
Why wait .. go .. implement .. reap the benefit .. be the leader in your business
Remember .. Go Parallel .. Think Parallel

Lalit Singh		 i am developing a multithreaded application on VC++, in which i am using worker threads as well as user interface threads. i am finding more difficulty in synchronising them. moreover in this conference i got the basic idea about the threaded application but is not so useful as i can implement into my applications. so it would be very helpful for us if you can provide a practical sort of training for the same, otherwise i enjoyed the seesions here so far and appreciate the parallelism.

Biswajit Behera		 Going Parallel!

Technology inspired by life for life is what its all about. You see, hear, think, breathe all at the same time ... thats not all its something more and u never possibly know how more!

We have been doing procedural tasks, single tasks since long .. and now are reaching limits to what can be done yet the problems that are yet to be solved still persist. How do we solve tomorrows problems? Possibly learning from self .. imitating biological interactions .. the biological beauty.

Thats what intel has done.. Multicore architectures. Doing more with less to solve problems with minute devices ... cuz when its universal problems or the planet problems .. its miniature humans that solve it.

Going parallel seems to be the way !!!!!!!!!!!! they intel multicore way. Its all fork() ... giving rise to hundreds of processes and each giving rise to thousands of threads... and AMFORKED() how beautifuly they will be organised and working together to solve the complexity..

- AMFORKED

Avdhesh Vishwakarma		 Intel always inpowering people to think beyond the technology witn the help of cutting edge technology.
to provide inovative solutions for the customers to fullfill there needs.
April 22, 2008 1:21 AM PDT


thilagavathi.s		 for the future seminar kindly arrange practical session to know the difference between the parallelism to sequetialism; by provding program with parallelism and without parallelism with the participants by which they will know the benefits of it with resepective to execution time etc.,
April 22, 2008 1:25 AM PDT


Prem Chand Kumar		 Apart from multi-core, parallelism etc., the one major point which attacts is : Intel provides a platform which helps in following Open Standards. Today, in a multi-vendor scenario, it is very hard to consider as to which processor one should go for.
This event is really a very informative one.
April 22, 2008 1:29 AM PDT


Devesh Gupta		 No doubt event was very interesting and interactive but what we missed ... supporting documents to the subject covered by various speakers, We wish to know more about futuristic technology and products as most of the contemoprary products and technology are discussed at various platform in various events.

rajesh bharadwaj		 Intel also first.......Green DATA CENTRE, Green PROCESSORS......... and now Green CODE...... that's GR8
April 22, 2008 3:02 AM PDT


Abhilash Jhariya		 Being a software developer we were always thinking that while we are using the talest servers and processors still our application works very slow. What can be the reson behind that?
But through this seminar 'Go Parallel' we are very clear that our coding should use the fascilities provide by the multicore processors. We should usethe maximum resources so the performace of our application is to be the utmost.

This seminar was a good one which encourages to work on multithreading programming to get the best results using the multicore processors

This was quiet a good seminar.


Thanks

Arun Phunde		 Thinking Parallel!!!

I have few questions, these might be looks like confidential for intel, but at the same time we just need to know just overview of questions before moving to use Intel products:

1) While bringing new concept 'Go Parallel', what sort of strategies Intel trying to upbeat Open Source code strategy by Linux/unix?
2) How can person from small companies(specially economically) can take participate in Go Parallel initiative?
3) What can be done to make all software world in parallel or unique process in terms of any software's Procurement/Commercial/market?
How to beleive that Intel products are better than other?

Cheers,

Rajeesh		 Threading Gives

Efficient memory handling, resource Management, it also helps the diffent core to increase throughput.
By dividing a process in to diffent thrads we can impove multithreading.In multicore machine the
the threaDS OF SAME PROCESS CANBE PROCESSED BY DIFFERNT CORES
April 22, 2008 3:26 AM PDT


Praful		 Hi, I like to know how can we implwmnt multi thread for process as well as scale visulaization for 3d games.
April 22, 2008 3:30 AM PDT


Arun Phunde		 Thinking Parallelism!!!

About Intel products, they need to explain breifly to why their products are better that other in more brief/unformative manner.
Also what is strategy for small vendors??

Cheers,
Arun

sunil kumar sharma		 Do n't u think the multi core technology is going very fast dual core to quad core and many core without much application development using the parallelism required for utilizing the multi core threading.
I have attended the seminar on "Go parallelism" at Taj Land Ends , Mumbai and it gives me an idea that parallelism in s/w development will still take time to be the part of programmer's thinking process. Is it possible that each and every application can be parallelized and utilize the power of all the core available in the socket.
Does single Application running on four CPU - quad core (4 cpu X4 cores) and Eight CPU - Dual cores ( 8 X2) server give the same performance . If not , which is better if the same oil & gas (E&P) voxel based Geoprobe /Voxelego application is fully parallelized based on the multi-processor i.e SMP aytem (not on multicore) . The suggestion may help me in choosing the best option.

Saurabh Bansal		 Thats was great even for the dovopment side ...
since i am in Network and Management so not theright guy to write this blog

Tridib Bose		 There can be some hand on session and demo copies be given for educational purposes.
April 24, 2008 11:07 PM PDT


B Mohan Kumar		 The Event is good, but has to target the right audience, since i'm a DWH developer according to me what i understand this, Intel coming with the new product which is talking the Parallism. I'm a Teradata Developer and Teradata comes up in the Parallalism is the good concept.
when we say Parallalism we should concentrate the Scalabilty that is up to Linear scalabilty.
It's good approach from Intel using Parallalism Concept.
Need some demonstration to talk about the Parallalism and Scalabilty.
April 24, 2008 11:14 PM PDT


Suresh Madineni		 Go Parallel - Really good and iam glad that i have attended the session.

Threading/Parallelism is very much importatant.
IT make the things faster with efficient way and at the sametime, programmer should be cautious on how the resources are allocated and how they are freed.
Resource usage will be optimised and turnaround time will be less, if we use Threading.

Vasanthi A		 Excellent conference that helps in knowing more on parallelism. Few years down the line I had studied a bit on parallel programming incollege. And from the presentations given I got to know many interesting facts and the advancements that have been made in the recent years. Lot of queries that I need to ask, but since of time scarcity now able to pose questions. On the whole it is a good one. And the best thing is the conference is free of cost :)
April 24, 2008 11:34 PM PDT


Gandhi Aryavalli Sriranga Narasimha		 The discussion talks more on parallesm concepts and would be so impressive and would like to take a chance to look into more details and want to explore. The speaker are quite confident on the way they approach on the concepts. Multicore concepts are impressive. Thanks for the wonderful seminar
April 24, 2008 11:38 PM PDT


Siddharth Gaur		 When i was in college i only knew about parallel processing for high end applications like weather forecasting, Nuclear R&D, and space application . Now i have come to know about this in normal business apllication as well . Great going

Harsha Master		 Till very recently parellel computing and multithreading were the hot topics of university professors and scientists. Now they need to get into practical by Intel's multicore processors. Adding advantage to Intel's Multicore processors, predefined multithreaded frameworks like OpenPM and TBB are taking to new heights. It also worth to mentions, seminars like this do let good things to spread across, and wish this drive most efficient Operating Systems to drive them as a part of system. Seminar is just outstanding.
April 24, 2008 11:58 PM PDT


Srinivas Narasimha Murthy		 Does codes written three years back can run on multicores using all the multicores optimally with API,s of TBB. Can thread stealing be implemented in JAVA and then using TBB can we optimise the Code.
April 25, 2008 12:19 AM PDT


Kiran Shankar		 Looking at the opportunities thrown open with TBB on Multicore Processors, it gives a bigger picture of the phenomenal view of the road ahead. Intel leading the was as always and working along with Software Developers will bring up new feature rich Software Applications to the end users. With Terascale Computing "Terascale Chip" already available from Intel Along with TBB will make Enterprise Computing much more faster and move the Enterprise Computing to a new level.

siddesh G M		 i am an academician from M S RAMAIAH INSTITUTE OF TECHNOLOGY from bangalore its an atonumous institute i want to introduce parallel programming to my students and establish parallel programming lab in my organization so that studentscan have exposure on parallel programming environment.so that they can strive in future.
April 25, 2008 12:54 AM PDT


Neelam Agarwal		 All the sessions were quite informative.Talks on open source technology which is the mainstream in today's world really helped a lot in knowing it better.I too learnt about what multicore means to the developer market-place.Also converged-fabrics ,which is the future technology to work collaboratively brought new innovations to limelight.In brief,the intel software network seminar benifitted me a lot.
April 25, 2008 1:13 AM PDT


Suja Venkateswaran		 Very interesting.
Are there any standard tools for conversion of legacy applications to those which can optimally use multi core?

Would like to know of metrics and tools for measuring performance after using TBB.

Current trends in the market is that most users buy multi core CPU configurations which is only a psychological and not really measuable!
April 25, 2008 1:19 AM PDT


Girish P		 The sessions on Multicore processing were excellent. Got lot of insight into the developer tools that intel is developing. But the session on HPC could have concentrated more on usecases of multicore in HPC rather than productizing HP's view point.
April 25, 2008 1:26 AM PDT


sanjeeb chaudhary		 It was very interesting to hear about multi core and parallel processing because i had very active interest in those topics since when i had started working in our lab with IIT bombay accelerator for digital desingning.When we had not used any parallel processing for our simulation it was taking something around 8 days time to produce result .Once same design when we simulated on accelaraotr it has give result in 18 hrs ...so its one of the good news for all technlogical people that leading industries are active towards this..but they also need to concentrate on nano technology rather than CMOS technology as nano technology consumes less power as well as has high packing density of all the digital components.
April 25, 2008 2:26 AM PDT


ranjit reddy		 I thank intel for these presentations.
It was knowledgeable and thought provoking.
It helps to project oneself and think parallely with the industry growth.
I got to know many useful things.

if i can get soem answers,
why the number of cores is an even number?
expecting a technical answer.

Mahamed Firdosulla		 I am very glad for being the part of the Intel Software conference, It was a fabulous experience for me to understand the concept of parallel programming and multi-threading. I officially would like to thank Intel for organizing such an event in Bangalore. This was my career's best event i have attended, The speakers like James Rienders and Chris from Australia were very good in their presentations. The lunch with CNET was also royal and properly organized, I look forward to attend such more conferences from Intel in Bangalore. I would like to thank Intel again for giving an opportunity to attend an international conference.

Thanks,

Regards

Altaf		 I very much appreciate the efforts which were taken for a successful Software meet.I've attended many software sessions,but this was the session which was very informative.Technology inspired by life for life is what was all about.The sessions on Multicore processing was very informative.
I thank all the speakers for their efforts.
It would be greatful if Intel organises more sessions on IT Technology.
Thankss a lot.Appreciated

Anil Dhar		 People mostly think that getting a high end machine will improve the performance of their applications but unless and until it is not backed by a well architected application tuned to the hardware, their won't be substantial improvement in the performance. All this became clear in the conference. Parallel programming was there before but I think now it has become even more important to code parallel considering that processors now would be multi core.

Thanks,
Anil Dhar

Milford D'Souza		 It was great to have James Reinders speaking on the subject. Several not-so-well-known aspects of Intel's technological footprint too were brought to our attention.
