Intel's Two New Software Development Suites Produce Fast, Scalable and Reliable Applications
Intel has today unveiled two new development suites: Intel Parallel Studio XE 2013 and Intel Cluster Studio XE 2013. The integrated suites include optimized compilers, libraries and analysis tools to help enable developers to efficiently extract improved application performance on current and next-generation processors including Intel Xeon Phi coprocessors. These new suites also help developers deliver improved application performance with less effort on servers, clusters, workstations, desktops and Ultrabooks devices.
Intel Parallel Studio XE provides advanced tools to build superior shared memory applications. Intel Cluster Studio XE adds support for distributed and hybrid applications. Applications built using these tools typically run faster on computers, servers and clusters. The suites enable developers to deliver applications that perform and scale well in computers and clusters while improving productivity to create faster, more reliable applications.
New Capability Highlights:
These suites include several new capabilities to help developers create faster, more reliable applications, including:
•Improved compiler and library performance
•Support for 3rd Generation Intel Core processors, the upcoming “Haswell” microarchitecture and Intel Xeon Phi coprocessors
•A dozen new profiling features providing additional insight for tuning
•Low overhead Java profiling support to help enable improved mixed mode profiling
•Pointer checker to detect and pinpoint buffer overflows that can result in crashes and security vulnerabilities
•Memory growth analysis that finds unallocated memory space not available using traditional memory analysis
•An MPI library with improved fault tolerance to improve cluster reliability
•Conditional numerical reproducibility for run-to-run consistency
•Expanded support of the C++ 11, Fortran 2008 and MPI 2.2 standards
•Extended parallelism to include Linux, Fortran and C# in addition to Windows and C/C++.
Intel Parallel Studio XE for Windows and Linux is available now priced at $2,299. Intel C++ Studio XE for Windows and Linux is available now priced at $1,599. Intel Fortran Studio XE for Windows and Linux is available now priced at $1,899. Intel Cluster Studio XE for Windows and Linux is available now priced at $2,949.
