Intel® Parallel Advisor Lite

Welcome to the Intel® Parallel Advisor Lite discussion thread!  We have started this thread to help us communicate with you about this new parallel programming technology developed by Intel’s software groups.

Intel® Parallel Advisor Lite is a technology preview that accelerates parallel application design by providing unique insight into how parallelism will benefit your application. Parallel Advisor Lite is an add-on to the Intel® Parallel Studio suite of development tools for C/C++ developers using Microsoft Visual Studio*.

We are interested in your feedback. Please take a moment to download, install, and let us know what you think.

  •  
    • How does this tool and its methodology compare with other techniques you have used?
    • What features of Intel® Parallel Advisor Lite did you like? What did you find difficult to use or to understand?
    • What is the biggest obstacle that has prevented you from implementing multi-core support in your application? Does Parallel Advisor Lite address this obstacle?
    • Did Parallel Advisor Lite expose something unexpected in your program, such as a different location to parallelize? Or a data observation? 
    • What information did Parallel Advisor Lite provide that helped you the most?

Hi,
I was trying to use Advisor on one application which was using std::max function.

After including annotate.h in the target file compiler gave error on the std::max function. Without this header file it compiles fine.

Following is a test case:

#include <iostream>
#include <annotate.h> //after commenting this it compiles fine


int main()
{ int a=15;
int b=18;
int c=std::max(a,b);

}

Are you aware of this issue? how should i fix this?

Hi!  
Yes, we know - this is an unfortunate side effect of our combining what would typically be found in a pair of files (annotate.h and annotate.cpp), into the single file: annotate.h. THEN having annotate.h include windows.h.

Generally, you can work around these compilation errors caused by annotate.h including windows.h by inserting
                 #define WIN32_LEAN_AND_MEAN
before the
                 #include "annotate.h"


In your case, you are may also need to specify
                 #define NOMINMAX

Very annoying. We are looking at alternatives – suggestions are welcome!

Regards,
