The Intel VTune™ Amplifier Platform Profiler on Windows* and Linux* systems shows you critical data about the running platform that help identify common system configuration errors that may be causing performance issues and bottlenecks. Fixing these issues, or modifying the application to work around them, can greatly improve overall performance.
Accelerated Python for Data Science
January 23, 2019 by
The Intel Distribution for Python takes advantage of the Intel® Advanced Vector Extensions (Intel® AVX) and multiple cores in the latest Intel architectures. By utilizing the highly optimized Intel MKL BLAS and LAPACK routines, key functions run up to 200 times faster on servers and 10 times faster on desktop systems. This means that existing Python applications will perform significantly better merely by switching to the Intel distribution.
Latest Intel Tools Make Code Modernization Possible
December 21, 2018 by
Code modernization means ensuring that an application makes full use of the performance potential of the underlying processors. And that means implementing vectorization, threading, memory caching, and fast algorithms wherever possible. But where do you begin? How do you take your complex, industrial-strength application code to the next performance level?
Learn What to Do Next with Intel VTune Amplifier Application Performance Snapshot
October 9, 2018 by
Tuning code has, for a long time, been an art. Knowing what to look for and how to correct inefficiencies in serious numerical computations has not been easy for most programmers. It’s often hard to even know which tool to start with. Which is why the Intel® VTune™ Amplifier Application Performance Snapshot could prove to be a great way to get an instant summary of an application’s performance characteristics and issues.
Intel Performance Libraries Accelerate Python Performance for HPC and Data Science
September 19, 2018 by
Python is now the most popular programming language, according to IEEE Spectrum’s fifth annual interactive ranking of programming languages, ahead of C++ and C. Recent Intel Distributions for Python show that real HPC performance can be achieved with compilers and library packages optimized for the latest Intel architectures. Moreover, the library packages targeted for big data analysis and numerical computation included in this distribution now support scaling for multi-core and many-core processors as well as distributed cluster and cloud infrastructures.

August 3, 2018 by
The latest release of Intel® Media SDK offers a single, cross-platform, GPU-enabled API for building optimized media and video applications from PC’s to workstations and into the cloud.
Performance in the Datacenter
July 25, 2018 by
Many modern applications are being developed with so called run-time languages, which are compiled at execution time. The performance of these applications in cloud data centers is important for anyone considering moving their applications and workloads to the cloud. Download Intel Distribution for Python for free today to supercharge your applications.
Streamline Your HPC Setup with Intel Cluster Checker
July 24, 2018 by
“Understanding a cluster can be complex if tools are not available such as Intel Cluster Checker. Think of how many times users complain that their applications are not runing with the expected performance and how long it takes system administrators to diagnose the issue. With Intel Cluster Checker, diagnosing and debugging of these issues is easier and less complex. By usingthis tool, customers will be more statisfied and a higher return on the investment will be realized.”
Materials Science Modeling with VASP
July 17, 2018 by
In today’s world where science and engineering depend on the simulation of new materials and their behavior is of critical importance. New materials are constantly being designed and brought into product design in order to create products that can withstand many environmental conditions and still perform for their intended use. HPC is critical for the simulation of these materials and applications which perform at the fastest speed available on a given hardware platform can lead to earlier introduction of products that contain these materials.
Deep Learning Open Source Framework Optimized on Apache Spark*
July 9, 2018 by
Intel recently released BigDL. It’s an open source, highly optimized, distributed, deep learning framework for Apache Spark*. It makes Hadoop/Spark into a unified platform for data storage, data processing and mining, feature engineering, traditional machine learning, and deep learning workloads, resulting in better economy of scale, higher resource utilization, ease of use/development, and better TCO.
