Two-Stage Input Parallel Pipeline: Part 2

In the previous post we looked at using the QuickThread toolkit to write a two-stage input pipeline to boost the performance of the input side of your application. Today we look at using the QuickThread toolkit to write a high-performance output end of an application. QuickThread is available from QuickThread Programming.

    Lock Contention, Using Intel Parallel Studio to Improve Performance
    Speaker: Vasanth Tovinkere, Software Engineer, Intel Corporation (Bio)

    Vasanth Tovinkere is a software engineer in the Developer Products Division (DPD) at Intel. His current role involves defining novel approaches to understanding and visualizing parallel performance and consulting with strategic customers to help them prepare and deliver code for the multicore world. Vasanth has been involved in the development of automatic semantic event detectors for digital sports technologies in Intel Labs. He also has been awarded three patents and has two patents pending.

    Abstract:
    Discover how easy it is to use the power of Microsoft Visual Studio and Intel Parallel Studio to find performance issues due to lock contention in threaded applications. This ensures that shipped applications can take better advantage of multicore processors. In this webcast, we provide live demonstrations that show how to identify lock contentions issues with Visual Studio and Intel Parallel Studio, an add-in to Visual Studio that helps developers create fast, reliable code on multicore processors.t.
