Dear Intel Academic Community Members,

When you are working on your way, like University of Southern California, to establish the parallelism as core to computing curricula, a previously uncharted territory, for sure you are going to have questions and need technical support, especially when you arenew to theadvanced software development tools that Intel offer to your university to help you develop your curricula.

Intel offers free Premier Technical Support to your university for the first 30 days after you apply your free renewable Academic license. The best strategy is to use this period to climb your learning curve and set up your lab to support the curricula development.

Intel also offered forum based community support for software development products by the engineers who created those products.

The following table gives you the most comprehensive support forum information. You can use table as the first landing page and find out where to submit your questions and ask for technicalsupport Information:
