When running an MPI program, process placement is critical to maximum performance. Many applications can be sufficiently controlled with a simple process placement scheme, while some will require a more complex approach. The Intel® MPI Library offers multiple options for controlling process placement within the Hydra process manager.

Offload Programming: Fortran and C Code Examples
This document describes a set of source code examples that are available as part of the Intel® Composer 2013 package. These examples demonstrate the basic concepts of offload programming for Intel® Xeon Phi™ coprocessors and are installed to the following default location on Linux*. The default value for <install_dir> is /opt/intel/composer_xe_2013.
Fortran code examples: <install-dir>/Samples/en_US/Fortran/mic_samples/LEO_Fortran_intro/

How to package a HTML5/web-app for AppUp using node-webit and WixToolset
This article demonstrates one of many ways to package a HTML5/web app for distribution for Windows. The result will be a Windows MSI installer file that can install silently. The web app is packaged with node-webkit that provides the browser environment for the app. The beauty is your app will allways run in the same constant environment and does not have to cater for multiple browsers.

Calculating estimated call counts with Intel® VTune™ Amplifier XE 2013
When you profile your software with VTune™ Amplifier XE you often start from looking at the top function hotspots list. This allows you to see what functions are spending CPU resources, so you can focus your optimization efforts.
Function call counts can provide some additional information to assist in further optimization.
Making the Call Stack Pane Work for You
VTune™ Amplifier XE Call Stack Pane
The call stack pane is displayed in viewpoints of analysis types that include stack data. It is displayed on the right side of the viewpoint (highlighted below in a gold box).
