Code Modernization: Bringing Codes Into the Parallel Age HPCwire Doug Black June 8, 2017
Application code must keep up with processor advancements as parallel computing gains traction, which Intel's Joe Curley says his company is doing by parallelizing public codes for the newest x86 central-processing unit generations. In an interview, Curley says the Intel Parallel Computing Centers produce output that software developers and academics can apply to teach people cutting-edge code modernization. "We focus efforts on open source communities and open source codes...to improve the understanding of how to program in parallel and how to solve problems," Curley says. He notes the inclusion of artificial intelligence and machine-learning methods are a recent code modernization development, which when properly implemented can exponentially boost performance. Curley also says most projects in this space concentrate on challenging algorithms via parallelization to "achieve massive increases in performance." Among the efforts encompassed by Intel's initiative are applications used by manufacturers in product design, and advanced imaging diagnostics employed by the medical industry.
