As I continue to explore different Ultrabook capabilities, in this blog I decided to look into a powerful threading and performance optimization tool for C/C++, .NET, and FORTRAN developers who need to understand an application's serial and parallel behavior to improve performance and scalability: Intel® VTune™ Amplifier XE 2011.

Converting a Cilk Arts Cilk++ application to Intel® Cilk™ Plus
This document summarizes the differences between the Cilk Arts implementation and the Intel® Cilk™ Plus implementation. It contains specific guidelines for porting Cilk Arts code to Cilk Plus code.
Introducing Intel Ultrabook™ – Part One
In all my years in college I have used a laptop PC. Recently, I’ve been tempted to get a MacBook Air Pro because of its light-weight and stylish look. But, since starting at Intel, I’ve been able to explore and play with an Ultrabook and it has changed my mind completely. The reason is simple: Ivy Bridge Ultrabooks are just amazing! Ultrabooks will be even more amazing when you add the touch screen capability of Window 8 later this year.
Intel Parallel and Multi-core Programming Webinar Archives
Included in this page are zipped Webinar materials. These webinars are presented to Intel Academic Community members in the last three years with various topics covering Multi-core and Parallel Programming and Threading for best performance. You can download the zipped material to a local system, unzip the materials to a folder or copy to a CD and start to learn from those recorded presentations.
Assignment on the European Football Elimination Problem (University of Osnabrueck)
The paper summarizes an assignment on the European Football Elimination Problem which was given to my students in this year\'s lecture on parallel and distributed algorithms. The students were asked to use Intel\'s TBB 3.0 to solve the assignment. The material also contains an application named Team Planer which can be used to generate input files for testing purposes.
A Hands-On Introduction to OpenMP
This is the latest in a 10 year series of tutorials about OpenMP. The approach is based on the latest research in learning theory and is based on an active learning program. The goal is to talk as little as possible and present much of the material through hands-on exercises. This is actually much harder to present than a traditional “lecture style” as it requires a lecturer how stays actively engaged with his or her learners … letting them get frustrated enough to entrench what they learn into long term memory but not so frustrated that the ability to learn degrades.
