Upcoming Software Development Webinars by Intel:
Optimising Parallel Programs: Symptoms to Solutions
Dr. Jayant DeSouza, Engineer, Performance, Analysis, and Threading Lab, Software and Solutions Group, Intel
Over the last four years at Intel, DeSouza's roles have included new product R&D, product lifecycle management, and strategic customer engagement. He has substantially improved production code performance for several Intel customers through use of Intel Software Tools. DeSouza received his Ph.D. from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, where he specialised in parallel programming.
A systematic approach to symptom analysis can help solve multi-core performance and correctness issues. We will cover a set of symptoms and their possible causes. These include slowdown despite adding cores or increasing the number of threads, slowdown when giving threads larger pieces of work, slowdown due to scheduling issues, and slowdown/errors due to synchronisation, etc.
Boosting Performance of Imaging Solutions by Adopting New Deferred Mode Image Processing (DMIP) Layer
Ying Song, Technical Consulting Engineer for Intel Integrated Performance Primitives, Intel Software Solutions Group
Song is responsible for consulting with applications developers on their use of Intel Integrated Performance Primitives libraries. She has worked for Intel for 11 years.
A typical image processing task handles data type conversion, filtering or threshold, one after another, and applies Intel Integrated Performance Primitives (Intel IPP) libraries without considering the order of calculations. With demands for dealing with larger images in complex image processing tasks, additional improvements for pipelined operations on images are more important. These improvements support better utilisation in memory optimisation and much faster performance on multi-threaded environments. We'll introduce a new implementation Deferred Mode Image Processing (DMIP) layer built on top of Intel IPP. We'll also share the latest performance benchmarks comparison for typical image processing tasks used in imaging solutions in medical and multimedia applications.
Future Parallelisation Technologies?
Ganesh Rao, Intel Developer Products Division
Ganesh has more than 15 years of experience in the areas of application tuning, benchmarking, and developer support. Ganesh has a broad array of applications experience, including computer games, enterprise applications and high performance computing environments. Currently Ganesh is focusing on training and supporting customers with development tools and benchmarks.
