The Intel Cluster Toolkit bundles new major versions of all Intel Cluster Tools into a single package. This multi-component software toolkit contains the core libraries and tools to efficiently develop, optimise, run, and distribute parallel applications for clusters with Intel processors.
It includes:
  • Intel MPI Library 3.1

  • Intel Math Kernel Library 10.0

  • Intel Trace Analyzer and Collector 7.1

  • Intel MPI Benchmarks 3.1

    • Intel MPI Library 3.1 provides a flexible and high-performance implementation of MPI for easy MPI application development on multiple network architectures, now with full thread safety.

    Intel MKL Cluster Edition 10.0 includes optimised ScaLAPACK (Scalable LAPACK), vector math and statistical libraries, direct and iterative sparse solvers, and distributed-memory Fast Fourier Transforms. Now ensures optimised performance of the Dual-Core Intel Xeon processor 5100 series.

    Intel Trace Analyzer and Collector 7.1 applies event-based tracing in cluster applications and offers scalable analysis of performance data, recording of statistics, and multithreaded traces on all Intel platforms.

    Intel MPI Benchmarks 3.1 is a comprehensive set of MPI benchmarks, formerly known as Pallas MPI Benchmarks (PMB).

    The following list contains just a few of the many new features included in this latest version.
