Optimizing performance on parallel hardware is an iterative process. The flow chart shows the various steps involved.
Intel® Parallel Studio XE 2017 Composer Edition is a software development tools suite for boosting application performance with less effort:
Start using the tools from the Eclipse* C/C++ Development Toolkit (CDT), or from a command line.
The product has tutorials with step by step instructions with sample code that you can compile into an application using the Intel compiler.
After installing Intel Parallel Studio XE, you can launch the tools using the Eclipse CDT, or from the command-line.
See the Getting Started guides, linked from this page, for additional instructions and command lines for the tools
you are interested in.
To easily access the standalone or command line versions of the tools, use the initialization utility provided with Intel Parallel Studio XE, to initialize all the tools in one step:
Use the following components to build optimized executables and libraries. The flowchart shows how the various tools can help you in various stages of the flow.

| Getting Started Guide | Description |
|---|---|
| Intel® C++ Compiler - 17.0 | C and C++ optimizing compiler creates fast code for modern processors. It uses the latest instruction sets, auto vectorizes code for supporting/utilizing wider vector registers and uses highly tuned parallel models like OpenMP*, and Intel® TBB. It’s a drop-in addition for C and C++ development and has broad support for the latest C and C++ standards. |
| Intel® Fortran Compiler - 17.0 | High-performance, optimized Fortran compiler with support for the standards driven OpenMP* parallel programming model. |
| Enhanced GNU* Project Debugger (GDB) |
|
| Intel® Integrated Performance Primitives (Intel® IPP) - 2017 | Pre-optimized building blocks with computationally intensive functions to help with large dataset problem processing and high-performance computing. |
| Intel® Math Kernel Library (Intel® MKL) - 2017 | A set of highly optimized linear algebra, Fast Fourier Transform (FFT), vector math, and statistics functions. |
| Intel® Threading Building Blocks (Intel® TBB) 4.4 | C and C++ template library for creating high performance, scalable parallel applications. |
| Intel® Data Analytics Acceleration Library (Intel® DAAL) - 2017 | C++ and Java API library of optimized analytics building blocks to improve big data analytics performance from edge devices to servers. It covers all data analysis stages (preprocessing, transformation, analysis, modeling, decision making) for offline, streaming, and distributed analytics usages. Essential for engineering high performance Big Data applications. |

| Optimization Notice |
|---|
| Intel's compilers may or may not optimize to the same degree for non-Intel microprocessors for optimizations that are not unique to Intel microprocessors. These optimizations include SSE2, SSE3, and SSSE3 instruction sets and other optimizations. Intel does not guarantee the availability, functionality, or effectiveness of any optimization on microprocessors not manufactured by Intel. Microprocessor-dependent optimizations in this product are intended for use with Intel microprocessors. Certain optimizations not specific to Intel microarchitecture are reserved for Intel microprocessors. Please refer to the applicable product User and Reference Guides for more information regarding the specific instruction sets covered by this notice. Notice revision #20110804 |
