Intel Parallel Studio
Intel Parallel Studio is a software development product developed by Intel that plugs into the Microsoft Visual Studio Integrated Development Environment. Its purpose is to facilitate developing programs for parallel computing. Parallel programming enables software programs to take advantage of multi-core processors from Intel and other processor vendors.
Parallel Studio is composed of three component parts, each of which is a collection of capabilities.
- Parallel Composer consists of the Intel C++ compiler, a number of performance libraries (Integrated Performance Primitives), Intel Threading Building Blocks and a parallel debugger extension.
- Parallel Inspector improves reliability by identifying memory errors and threading errors.
- Parallel Amplifier is a performance profiler that analyzes hotspots, concurrency and locks-and-waits.
Parallel Studio is focused on native code development for C/C++ programming on Windows and Linux.
Intel announced Parallel Studio during their Intel Developer Forum in August 2008 along with a web site to sign up for their open beta program.[1][2] On 26 May 2009, Intel announced that it had released the product to market[3][4][5][6], and introduced a fourth component named Parallel Advisor Lite. Parallel Advisor Lite is an add-on for Parallel Studio to assist in the analysis and modeling of where to best add parallelism to an application.
Intel and Microsoft worked together[7] to make their products compatible by adopting a common runtime called the Microsoft Concurrency Runtime, which is part of Visual Studio 2010.
Intel released a new version, Intel Parallel Studio 2011, on September 2, 2010.[8][9]
