Intel Parallel Studio XE is a development suite that boosts application performance by taking advantage of the ever-increasing processor core count and vector register width available in Intel Xeon processors, Intel Xeon Phi processors and coprocessors, and other compatible processors. Intel Parallel Studio XE simplifies the design, development, debugging and tuning of parallel code while boosting application performance. The suite of software enables software engineers from high performance compute (HPC), machine learning, and data analysis applications to productively increase performance on hardware. The Intel Parallel Studio XE tools integrate into your development environment, allowing you to leverage existing code.

Intel Parallel Studio XE Composer Edition
The Composer Edition of the Intel Parallel Studio XE helps you build faster code, using compilers, libraries and a data analytics library. Deliver high performance applications for HPC, enterprise and cloud solutions with industry-leading Fortran and C++ compilers, accelerated Python distribution, and performance libraries. Simplify development using standards-based parallel models. Drop advanced libraries, optimized for the latest hardware, right into your code.

Intel Parallel Studio XE Cluster Edition
The Cluster Edition of the Intel Parallel Studio XE includes the Professional Edition and adds an MPI cluster communications library, MPI error checking and tuning, as well as a cluster diagnostic expert system, providing an even more robust toolset for software engineers. Future-proof high performance, scalable cluster applications that take full advantage of multicore and many-core power. Scale development efforts with standards-driven compilers, programming models, and tools. Profile MPI applications to quickly find bottlenecks, achieving high performance for parallel cluster applications. Verify that cluster components continue working together throughout the cluster lifecycle.

Intel Corp. is the brains of the operation. One the biggest computer chip companies, the company controls 80% of the market for microprocessors that act as the brains of desktop, notebook, and server computers. It has dominated the PC chip market from the early x86 processors to Pentiums to today’s Core technology. Intel also makes chips for smartphones, and tablets as well as embedded semiconductors for the industrial, medical, and automotive markets. The company develops its chips and makes most of them itself in one of the industry’s biggest manufacturing systems.
