Every so often, a
technology change sweeps through the software industry and shakes the
software world to its roots. The arrival of Multi-Core processors with
the need for parallel computing, is one such change. For an end-user,
this revolution brings with it increased computing power and outstanding
computing experiences at home and at work. From a software development
perspective, this change brings new possibilities of providing enhanced
user experience in multitasking environments.
How does this affect your software?
The power of Multi-Core processors to increase software performance and
productivity is astounding. But it's not automatic. It's up to you to
make it happen. The full potential of Multi-Core based systems to
deliver high performance is unleashed only when your software is
designed to take advantage of the capabilities of this new technology.
What does this mean for your applications?
More performance . . . enhanced responsiveness . . . more scalability . .
.
Developers will need to use a range of fresh programming concepts, new
models for multithreading, and a chance to break new algorithmic ground
in pursuit of trend-setting applications. Your business can look to a
future where, your innovative and energy-efficient applications deliver
performance and offer competitive advantages.

Why Do I Need Parallel Programming Training for Multi-Core Processors?
The single-core
era is over! Processors have run into the power ceiling, and
instruction-level parallelism has stopped offering additional features
to improve performance. Developers can no longer rely on the increasing
processor speed to improve performance.
Future performance gains will require a fundamental switch to parallel
software - work distributed and executed in parallel through
multithreading to utilize Multi-Core processor architecture.
Software developers need to change their programming paradigm. It is
projected that more than 70 percent of personal computers (PCs) shipped
by 2007** will contain processors with two or more cores. Developers
understand how to design and develop efficient parallel applications for
Multi-Core processors. The Multi-Core Training Series from Intel®
Software Training Programs is designed to help developers be prepared
for this new architecture.
I already know how to program with threads. Why should I take this
training?
- Most threading
done today is at the functional level and designed to run on
single-processors. Threading for performance, a major focus of the
courseware, will help you enhance application speed and take full
advantage of Multi-Core processors.
- Another key
component of the courseware is training on tools that can help
identify problems, such as erroneous coordination of threads and the
balancing of work between threads, to get the best possible
performance.
Parallel programming is for developers who work with scientific
applications. I am an information systems developer or manager. Why do I
need parallel programming?
Any application needing a high degree of computation - such as that
required for database table searches, media management, and game
character animation - can become faster with proper threading.
Determining whether your application can take advantage of parallelism
will require developers and information systems managers to be trained
on parallel programming and multithreading.
Who all need to be trained?
The curriculum is designed for all involved in software application
development, including developers who write application source code and
system architects who design software.

Key features of
the Multi-Core Training Series
- From basics to
Advanced: The training offers basic and advanced courses on
programming for Multi-Core processors that range from an initial
overview of Multi-Core processors to working experience of parallel
software development, including intricacies of multithreaded
programming and platform optimization.
- Intel Approved
& Qualified: Training delivered by Intel-Qualified instructors.
The courseware is Approved & Qualified by Intel and includes tested
methods for optimizing software performance on Intel Multi-Core
processors, code samples, tools and troubleshooting techniques to
bring out the best in application performance. Learning Support is
also provided through links to software documentation, searchable
libraries of technical support information, and self-help tools.
- Tools and Expertise: The
training empowers developers with understanding on usage of key
diagnostic tool. Specialized threading diagnostic tools allow rapid
deployment of correct and efficient parallel applications and help
correct problems that inhibit scalability. The result is improved
performance, scalability for applications, efficient use of
a programmer's time, and a faster software development and debugging
process.
- Hands-on Labs:
The principles and strategies of parallel programming and
multithreading for improved performance are taught through the use
of hands-on labs, equipped with Multi-Core processor hardware.
