Legends Wanted! We have them. Want application visibility? Become a Legend.

Maryann Iannitti (Intel) — Fri, 16 Apr 2010 04:19:10 +0000

We wanted legendary software developers and we got them. Five to start and many more to follow. The Legends program is a new way to share the story behind the applications. We all love great applications but how did the application come to be… developer(s). Legends is a way to learn how other developers have taken advantage of the Intel Atom Developer Program and the Intel AppUp Center.

Developers can get a first glimpse at the new Meego Mobile OS

Maryann Iannitti (Intel) — Fri, 02 Apr 2010 20:10:24 +0000

On March 31, 2010, Imad Sousou shared that the efforts of the worldwide Nokia and Intel teams to share the MeeGo operating system code with the open source community is here. This is the latest step in the evolution of Maemo and Moblin. The repositories are open and move the ongoing development work into the open - as we set out to do from the beginning.

Intel AppUp(SM) Center Beta for Moblin v2.1 now available and supporting 27 European countries.

Maryann Iannitti (Intel) — Thu, 25 Mar 2010 16:24:58 +0000

The Intel AppUp(SM) Center Beta for Moblin™v2.1-based netbooks is now available at www.intelappup.com. Moblin v2.1 based applications submitted and validated through the Intel® Atom™ Developer Program are now available to consumers in the United States and Canada. Future updates to the Intel AppUp Center will support the MeeGo software platform forming the channel to market Intel-based MeeGo applications for devices in a variety of categories beyond netbooks such as smartphones, consumer electronics and more.

Announcing the Intel Atom Developer Program Million Dollar Development Fund

Maryann Iannitti (Intel) — Mon, 01 Mar 2010 18:40:52 +0000

I am pleased to share with you some exciting news. We are launching a development fund just for you, the developers of Intel Atom Developer Program.

Applications Wanted

Maryann Iannitti (Intel) — Wed, 24 Feb 2010 21:23:40 +0000

One of the questions I have been getting regarding the Intel AppUp Center and Intel Atom Developer Program is about usage models for netbooks. What is the usage model and why wouldn’t a consumer just get an application the web?

Well I can tell you from personal experience that downloading applications blindly from the web is scary. Last month I spent two days cleaning my son’s PC infected with viruses from downloading random applications.

MeeGo – the results of merging the best of Moblin and Maemo

Maryann Iannitti (Intel) — Tue, 23 Feb 2010 14:26:59 +0000

MeeGo blends the best of Maemo with the best of Moblin to create an open platform for multiple processor architectures. MeeGo builds on the capabilities of the Moblin core OS and its support for a wide range of device types and reference user experiences, combined with the momentum of Maemo in the mobile industry.

MeeGo also unites the robust worldwide Maemo and Moblin applications ecosystems and open source communities. For developers, MeeGo extends the range of target device segments for their applications.

The Intel AppUp Center Beta officially launched January 7, 2010 at CES

Maryann Iannitti (Intel) — Sun, 10 Jan 2010 03:21:37 +0000

With great excitement I would like to announce that the Intel AppUp Center Beta is now available for download at www.intelappup.com. This netbook application store could not have been made available without the hard work and dedication of our Intel® Atom™ Developer Program members. The Intel AppUp Center opened with strong assortment of applications and a large pipeline of applications to come, thanks to the developers and members of the Intel Atom Developer Program.

Intel Software Network Front and Center at IDF

The executive keynotes at Intel Developer Forum are always a highlight of the event. The keynotes are full of sneak peeks, announcements and recognition of positive impacts in the industry. This year's keynotes will indeed meet these expectations.

Renee James, corporate vice president and general manager of Intel’s Software and Services Group, will discuss developing for the continuum of Intel platforms. Renee will be joined on stage by some key industry partners and will provide updates on Intel developer programs and software for Intel platforms.

If you want to be one of the first to get the inside scoop on the news in Renee's keynote, visit newlegendswanted.com.

Instruction Set Optimization

Maryann Iannitti (Intel) — Thu, 20 Nov 2008 18:27:16 +0000

This weeks poll question is about what instruction sets do you optimize for. For example,

x86/x87 for the Pentium, CMOV for the Pentium Pro - P6 (no MMX)
MMX for the Pentium with MMX - P55C (no CMOV)
MMX + CMOV for the Pentium II - Deschutes
SSE for the Pentium III - Katmai
SSE2 for the Pentium 4 - Willamette
SSE3 for the Pentium 4 - Prescott, SSSE3 for the Core 2 65 nm - Conroe, Merom
SSE4.1 for the Core 2 45 nm - Penryn, SSE4.2 for the i7 - Nehalem

We are interested in learning what instruction sets you optimize for. Please check out the survey at http://software.intel.com/en-us/ - make sure to scroll down... it is at the bottom of the page. Take the poll, and share which instruction sets you optimize for as well as find out which instruction sets others optimize for!

The (Code) Path To Success

Maryann Iannitti (Intel) — Sat, 08 Nov 2008 02:31:40 +0000

The ever-expanding Intel Architecture instruction set offers performance improvements for a wide number of application segments. With that comes the need to 'code path' – i.e. run the particular code that utilizes the full potential of the particular processor its running on. Of course, there are practical limits on the number of code paths supported by any one application. All applications have a 'baseline' code path that is assumed to run on all target systems (e.g. IA-32 Architecture, MMX™ technology instruction set, etc.), and then potentially some number of additional code paths (e.g. Intel® Streaming SIMD Extensions (SSE), SSE2, SSE3, SSE4, etc.).

We are interested in learning how many code paths your application(s) support. Please check out the survey at http://software.intel.com/en-us/ - make sure to scroll down... it is at the bottom of the page. Take the poll, and share how many code paths you support as well as find out how many code paths others support!
