TechEd09: What you can expect from Intel's conference attendance

By Michael J Huelskoetter (90 posts) on November 5, 2009 at 2:02 am

As I wrote in my yesterday's blog post we will be at Microsoft's developer conference Tech-Ed Euirope 2009 which will take place in Berlin this year. Fortunately at the same time the whole city will celebrate the 20th anniversary of the fall of the Wall. So there will be a few people in Berlin during those days!

But this won't prevent us doing our job at the Microsoft event for four long days (at day five Tech-Ed has to get along without us). This means in particular:

  • We will interview some of the most interesting people at the show with our video cam and blog this right away during Tech-Ed Europe 2009. This year we will try something really new: Instead of doing the live blogging in a dark and isolated chamber somewhere in one of these sad conference rooms I will sit right at the Intel stand within the Visual Studio Partner Zone and blog lively during the show. And with the help of a huge TV screen you can follow how I'm doing my job. This is nearly as good as watching a daily soap, isn't it?!
  • There will be three 15 minute sessions which will be held by Intel colleagues. Their short presentations will take place at the huge show theatre. The main topic will be Intel Parallel Studio with all facets of parallel programming with native programming languages as C and C++. So you can learn how to optimize your serial coded application in order to make it as fast as possible on a multi-core system. BUT you will also learn that Parallel Studio can help developers to make their serial coded apps saver and more efficient.

In terms of code safety the Memory Checker (which is part of the Parallel Inspector) can identify critical and most likely memory leaks while running an application. This is something you'll hardly find with your known software engineering tools. Furthermore with Parallel Amplifier which belongs to Intel Parallel Studio too, it's also possible to raise the overall application performance by finding some critical bottlenecks and hotspots within the serial coded app. For example the tool identifies an often used loop which contains a huge bug and takes far too much time when being executed. As a result the application takes too much execution time than necessary. With the help of Parallel Amplifier you can eliminate that!

  • Besides those parallel programming sessions you can stop by at Rami Radi's tech session. Rami will talk about how you as a developer can give "Your App a Triple Boost with Windows 7, Microsoft .NET Framework 4.0 and Intel Multi-Core". From what I've heard his session will be fully packed with interesting insights as "How to optimize .NET code with the help of Intel VTune Performance Analyzer". But no worries: You will find all these information on this dedicated TechEd09 blog. So don't forget to bookmark it and stop by later on.

 Looking forward to TechEd09.
