Intel is accelerating the growth of Brazil’s software industry by making strategic investments in independent software vendors, developers, universities, technology parks, and government IT agencies. Today at Intel Developer Forum (IDF) in Brazil, Intel announced that the Intel® Software Partner Program and four Intel® Software Network developer communities are launching in Portuguese. The Intel Software Network provides hundreds of technical documents and guidance on how to maximize software performance on Intel® architecture. The Intel® Software Partner Program helps companies develop and market commercial applications optimized for Intel® technologies.

Deterministic Reduction: a new Community Preview Feature in Intel® Threading Building Blocks

By Alexei Katranov (Intel) (1 posts) on May 11, 2012 at 2:22 am

Computer Arithmetic has a lot of peculiarities [1]. One of these pitfalls is associativity failure in floating point arithmetic. For example, the two sums of fractions calculations below will not produce the same result when using floats: In a sequential program, it is not a big problem since the calculation order is exactly specified so [...]

MIC: Stepping-stone to Quantum Computing?

By Clay Breshears (Intel) (196 posts) on December 14, 2011 at 9:59 am

I was reading Quantum Computing for Computer Scientists by Noson S. Yanofsky and Mirco A. Mannucci while I was on the treadmill last night. I started out reading the description of Shor's algorithm (for factoring integers) and thought that implementing this on a classical computer (in parallel, of course) would make an interesting problem for the Intel [...]

I saw an announcement of the Gordon supercomputer in an online Wired article. What made the new installation at the San Diego Supercomputer Center (SDSC) noteworthy wasn't the size of the machine or that the machine debuted at #48 on the TOP500 list. No, it was the fact that Gordon is the world's first supercomputer [...]

This week we demonstrated the Knights Corner co-processor at SC11 and we had many developers demonstrating real results with the prototype systems. During the "SC11 season," a number of tool vendors announced they will be providing versions of their software tailored to supporting MIC architecture, starting with the Knights Corner co-processor. Here are the ones I know [...]

I ran into Mike Dewar at SC11 today as the exhibition draws to a close.  Mike is the CTO of NAG Ltd. - a company we've had the good fortune to work with for years. NAG is one of a handful of companies that have been providing feedback on our Knights Ferry (prototype MIC architecture). [...]
