Intel Cluster Studio XE 2013 meets the challenges facing HPC developers by providing, for the first time, a comprehensive suite of tools that enables developers to boost HPC application performance and reliability. It combines Intel’s proven cluster tools with Intel’s advanced threading/memory correctness analysis and performance profiling tools to enable scaling application development for today’s and tomorrow’s HPC cluster systems.
Scale Performance
Superior shared, distributed, or hybrid application performance through industry leading Intel compilers, parallel models and libraries with advanced performance optimizations for today’s multicore and tomorrow’s many-core processors in HPC clusters.
- MPI Latency - Intel® MPI Library 4.1 is up to X as fast as alternative MPI libraries
- Compiler Performance –Industry leading Intel C, C++ & Fortran compilers
- Profiling & Tuning – In addition to native MPI profiling using the Intel® Trace Analyzer and Collector, Intel® VTune™ Amplifier XE 2013 is now MPI enabled for every node
Scale Forward
Intel Cluster Studio XE 2013 provides the tools, programming models, and performance libraries that enable developers to develop code that scales on Intel® Xeon® Processors today while easily extending to the Intel® Many Integrated Core (Intel® MIC) architecture.
- MPI Capacity – Intel® MPI Library scales beyond 120k processes
- Parallel Programming Models – Commercially supported Intel versions of open source Intel® Threading Building Blocks and Intel® Cilk™ Plus for threading parallelism
Scale Efficiency
The impact of budget and schedule pressure makes it crucial to have the right tools and programming models to rapidly develop and deploy reliable HPC applications. Intel Cluster Studio XE delivers powerful threading and correctness tools for hybrid applications development and parallel programming models that are simple to adopt.

- Parallel Programming Models – Parallelize code using three keywords with Intel® Cilk™ Plus
- Innovative Threading Assistant – Intel® Advisor XE 2013 analyses code to identifies regions for parallelization potential to improve performance on shared memory code.
What’s New
| Feature | Benefit |
|---|---|
| Increased MPI Scalability |
Intel® MPI Library 4.1 now scales up to 120K processes and Intel® Trace Analyzer and Collector now scales up to 6K processes to support application development and deployment for continued capacity growth of HPC systems |
| MPI Standards Support & Reliability |
Intel® MPI Library 4.1 now supports the MPI standard version 2.2. Berkeley Labs Checkpoint Restart (BLCR) support has been implemented to improve reliability of long running cluster based applications in case of failure recovery, scheduling, and process migration. |
| Latest Processor Support Ivy Bridge, and Intel® Xeon Phi™ Coprocessors |
Intel consistently offers the first set of tools to take advantage of the latest performance enhancements in the newest Intel product, while preserving compatibility with older Intel and compatible processors. New support includes AVX2, TSX, IMCI and FMA3. |
| Get Reproducible Results |
Gain the confidence of more reproducible results. Increase reliability of application results across different platforms with Intel® Math Kernel Library 11.0, special Intel support for OpenMP and Intel® Threading Building Blocks 4.1. |
| New Threading Assistant, Intel® Advisor XE 2013 |
Add parallelism to a threaded or a non-threaded application on the master node of a cluster. Evaluate alternatives before investing in implementation. Intel® Advisor XE 2013 can assist developers in producing scalable, maintainable C, C++, C# and Fortran code. |
| C++ Performance Guide |
If you’re not a performance expert, you will love the new C++ Performance Guide. Easy, quick 5 step process for more performance. |
| Fortran and C++ Standards Support |
Intel Fortran supports widely used features of the F2003 standard and key parts of the 2008 standard, including co-arrays. Intel demonstrates its commitment C++11 standard support in this release. |
| Find and Eliminate More Errors with Intel® Inspector XE 2013 |
Intel® Inspector XE 2013 is an efficient way to increase your application reliability to ensure performance in C, C++, C#, Fortran, Java and MPI applications. The new heap growth analysis feature is another way to look for memory leaks. |
| Additional Profiling Data while Easier to Use |
Intel® VTune™ Amplifier XE 2013 is now easier to use and provides additional profiling data. Its powerful bandwidth and memory access analysis means spending less time puzzling over cryptic performance data and more time developing. |
| Software Checked Pointers |
This new, compiler-based diagnostic tool helps you find code that accesses memory addresses beyond the allocated addresses. This helps with ‘security hardening’ and finding difficult memory corruption type bugs. |
