Product Information

Intel C++ Composer XE, available for Windows, Linux or Mac, comes with Intel C++ Compiler XE 12, Intel Math Kernel Library, Intel Integrated Performance Primitives and Intel Threading Building Blocks. Together these components enable software engineers to develop high performance applications for the latest Intel IA-32 and Intel 64 architectures. The compiler supports OpenMP, advanced vectorisation, Intel Parallel Building Blocks and more. Math Kernel Library adds numerous optimised math functions, Integrated Performance Primitives adds optimised media and data related functions and Threading Building Blocks provides a C++ template solution for general parallelism.

On Windows Intel C++ Composer XE integrates directly into Microsoft Visual Studio, including Visual Studio 2010, while on Linux it supports Eclipse CDT and XCode on Mac OS X.

New Features

Intel C++ Composer XE 2011 SP1 new features

Improved performance

Memory, auto-parallelisation and vectorisation optimisations have resulted in enhanced performance. C/C++ Compiler v12.1 is now up to 11% faster than v12.

Enhanced standards and support

Intel C++ Compiler 12.1 features support for the IEEE 754-2008 standard for binary and decimal floating point arithmetic. Support for C++0x standards have been increased with support for Variadic templates that enable a variable number of arguments, plus there is support for OpenMP 3.1.

Threading Build Blocks 4.0 new features

• Flow graph - a flexible API for expressing static and dynamic dependencies between computations
• Concurrent unordered set - thread-safe container for storing and accessing user objects
• Memory pools - get enhanced flexibility and performance by getting thread-safe and scalable object allocation
• Generic GCC atomics support - library portability enables development of TBB-based solutions on more platforms
• Task and task group priorities - specify task execution order based on three different priority levels
• Concurrent Priority Queue - a new queue that allows pulling data out in a user-defined priority order.

Intel Cilk Plus new features

• Enhanced SIMD pragma support - improved scalability and performance with SIMD pragma loops, vector length, and elemental functions support
• SIMD pragma clause - 'vectorlengthfor' provides a more architectural and scalable way to define vector lengths of loops
• Holder hyperobjects - saves time and improves performance by enabling per-thread temporary storage
• New Mac OS X support.

Intel C++ Composer XE 2011 new features

• Optimisations for the latest Intel architectures - with Intel AVX support the C/C++ compiler optimises for the latest Intel architecture - codenamed Sandy Bridge
• Intel Parallel Building Blocks - the inclusion of the new Intel Parallel Building Blocks expands the types of problems that can be solved more easily in parallel by taking advantage of the multicore optimisation opportunities in Intel Clik Plus, Intel Threading Building Blocks and Intel Array Building Blocks
• Vector optimisations - support for vector optimisations with Intel AVX, with SIMD pragmas, and help in auto-parallelisation for the highest performance and parallelism on the latest IA multicore CPUs
• Intel Math Kernel Library - the latest version of the Intel Math Kernel Library features better Intel AVX support, a new summary statistics library, enhanced C support for LAPACK and much more
• Intel Integrated Performance Primitives - the latest version of Intel Integrated Performance Primitives includes enhanced support for Intel AVX and AES instructions, improved data compression, improved codecs and more.

Features

Intel C++ Compiler XE

Intel C++ Composer XE enables software engineers to develop high performance applications for the latest Intel IA-32 and Intel 64 architectures. The compiler supports OpenMP, advanced vectorisation, Intel Parallel Building Blocks and more.

Intel Integrated Performance Primitives

Intel Integrated Performance Primitives provide a library of ready-to-use, highly optimised functions in the areas of media and data processing. Intel Integrated Performance Primitives features functions in a range of categories including video and audio coding, image coding and processing, speech recognition, data compression, cryptography, vector and matrix mathematics, ray tracing/rendering and more.

Intel Threading Building Blocks

Intel Threading Building Blocks is a powerful C++ library that helps create parallel applications. Take advantage of task-based routines that scale to all available processor cores and work across multiple platforms but do not require low level threading programming. Intel Threading Building Blocks can future-proof your applications by taking advantage of additional processor cores as new processors are released, enhance the speed of your applications and reduce development time.

Intel Math Kernel Library

Intel Math Kernel Library (Intel MKL) is a library of highly optimised, extensively threaded math routines for science, engineering, and financial applications that require maximum performance. Core math functions include BLAS, LAPACK, ScaLAPACK, Sparse Solvers, Fast Fourier Transforms, Vector Math and much more.
