Modernizing Code for Dramatic Performance Improvements – Intel® Chip Chat episode 346

Mike Bernhardt, the Community Evangelist for HPC and Technical Computing at Intel, stops by to talk about the importance of code modernization as we move into multi- and many-core systems in the HPC field. Markets as diverse as oil and gas, financial services, and health and life sciences can see a dramatic performance improvement in their code through parallelization. Mike also discusses last year’s Parallel Universe Computing Challenge and its return at SC14 in November – $26,000 towards a charitable organization is on the line for the winning team.
