Intel Parallel Studio
Intel Parallel Studio is a set of software development tools developed by Intel that plug into Microsoft Visual Studio to assist in 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 includes an parallel discovery tool called Parallel Advisor, a compiler packages called Parallel Composer, a debug tool called Parallel Inspector and a performance tool called Parallel Amplifier. These tools are focused on native code development for C/C++ programming.
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 with product to follow in late 2009.
Intel and Microsoft are working together to make Intel and Microsoft product compatible by adopting a common runtime called the Microsoft Concurrency Runtime, part of Visual Studio 2010.
