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.
Optimization Through Profiling
September 10, 2015 by
Through profiling, developers and users can get ideas on where an application’s hotspots are, in order to optimize certain sections of the code. In addition to locating where time is spent within an application, profiling tools can locate where there is little or no parallelism and a number of other factors that may affect performance. Performance tuning can help tremendously in many cases.
