Making visualized call graph from Intel® VTune™ Amplifier XE results
Some developers like performance data representation in form of “call graph”, where nodes are functions and edges are function calls from caller to callee. Also functions are attributed with CPU time. This way of call sequence visualization is not necessary needed and VTune™ Amplifier XE doesn’t have this graph – there are a lot of other powerful interactive ways to view, sort and filter performance data.
But there are good news for those who likes call graphs: it’s possible to make them from VTune Amplifier XE results. This blog post describes the way how to do it.
Setting Text Size for Intel® Parallel Studio XE Components on Microsoft Windows* Operating Systems
Intel® Inspector XE, Intel® VTune™ Amplifier XE, and Intel® Advisor XE use Microsoft Windows* OS system fonts to select text size. This allows the components to automatically pick up any change you make for accessibility or personal preference without affecting any other component user on the system.
Therefore, changing the text size for the Intel® Parallel Studio XE GUI is simple. Just change the Windows* text size and reopen the component.
Creating Games with AGK: Build Once, Deploy to Many
Last week at GDC, the Grand Prize Winners of Phase 1 of the Perceptual Computing Challenge were announced. One thousand participants from eleven different countries participated in the first round of this Challenge, with over one hundred prototypes submitted for judging.

Controlling Process Placement with the Intel® MPI Library
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.
Infrared5 Ultimate Coder Week Six: GDC, Mouth Detection Setbacks, Foot Tracking and Optimizations Galore
For week six Chris and Aaron made the trek out to San Fransisco to the annual Game Developers Conference (GDC) where they showed the latest version of our game Kiwi Catapult Revenge. The feedback we got was amazing! People were blown away at the head tracking performance that we’ve achieved, and everyone absolutely loved our unique art style. While the controls were a little difficult for some, that allowed us to gain some much needed insight into how to best fine tune the face tracking and the smartphone accelerometer inputs to make a truly killer experience.
