Intel C++ Composer XE 2011 – Fermi

Introduction

Intel C++ Composer XE 2011.4.191 is an optimizing compiler combined with high-performance libraries, advanced vectorization, support for Intel Parallel Building Blocks and OpenMP,speeding and simplifying improved multicore performance.

Intel C++ Composer XE 2011 Components

1. Intel Threading Building Blocks (Intel TBB)

This is C++ template library abstracts threads to tasks creating reliable, portable and scalable parallel applications. Intel TBB is the most efficient way to implement parallel applications and unleash multicore platform performance.

2. Intel Integrated Performance Primitives (Intel IPP)

This is an extensive library of multicore-ready, highly optimized software functions for multimedia data processing and communications applications.

3. Intel Math Kernel Library (Intel MKL)

This library includes optimized and scalable math routines for maximizing performance and seamlessly providing forward scaling from current to future many-core platforms.

4. Intel Debugger

The debugger improves the efficiency of the debugging process on code that has been optimized for Intel64 architecture and includes new threaded code debugging features and a new GUI.
