Up to 130 Times Faster
Boost your speed with threaded and vectorized code.
Benchmark source: Intel Corporation. See Configurations with notes and disclaimers below.1
Make the Best Design Decisions
Both threading and vectorization are required to effectively use all hardware resources in compute-intensive applications. Together, they deliver dramatically more performance than either technique alone.
Intel® Advisor gives software architects and developers the data and analysis tools they need to build well-threaded and vectorized code that exploits modern hardware capabilities.
Features
Roofline Analysis
Optimize your application for memory and compute.
Vectorization Optimization
Enable more vector parallelism and improve its efficiency.
Thread Prototyping
Model, tune, and test multiple threading designs.
Build Heterogeneous Algorithms
Create and analyze data flow and dependency computation graphs.
- Visually compare how much each part of your code has improved after every optimization using Roofline Compare.
- Adjust roof values to the number of sockets for more accurate performance ceilings for MPI applications.
- Focus on what matters by customizing survey report columns to your needs and saving the configurations for later use.
- Analyze OpenMP* task dependency graphs with a source correlation in the Flow Graph Analyzer.

Which Analysis Tools Should You Use?
Intel Advisor is the tool of choice for vectorization optimization and threading prototyping. But, to tap into improved performance from Intel® architecture, take advantage of resources in Intel Parallel Studio XE and Intel System Studio.
Using threading with vectorization for projects can be much faster than working with either one alone. The performance gap is growing with each new hardware generation. Benchmark source: Intel Corporation. See notes and disclaimers below.1
1 Benchmark results were obtained prior to implementation of recent software patches and firmware updates that are intended to address exploits referred to as "Spectre" and "Meltdown." Implementation of these updates may make these results inapplicable to your device or system.
Software and workloads used in performance tests may have been optimized for performance only on Intel® microprocessors. Performance tests, such as SYSmark and MobileMark, are measured using specific computer systems, components, software, operations, and functions. Any change to any of those factors may cause the results to vary. You should consult other information and performance tests to assist you in fully evaluating your contemplated purchases, including the performance of that product when combined with other products.
