New Intel Software Library Speeds Math-Intensive Applications Across Intel-based Systems; Intel Math Kernel Library Optimized for Systems with Intel Hyper-Threading Technology
SANTA CLARA, Calif., May 7, 2003 (BUSINESS WIRE) --
Intel Corporation announced today Intel(R) Math Kernel Library 6.0, a software library for developers creating numerically intensive simulation and analysis applications for Intel(R) Pentium(R) 4, Intel(R) Pentium(R) M, Intel(R) Xeon(TM) and Intel(R) Itanium(R) 2 processor-based systems, including systems with Intel Hyper-Threading Technology. The new library will help developers decrease development effort and increase performance of applications across multiple Intel-based systems.
Intel Math Kernel Library 6.0 is a collection of reusable linear algebra, Fast Fourier Transforms and vector math and statistical functions with a common applications programming interface. A library is a set of pre-built programming code that a developer can "call" when writing applications. Intel Math Kernel Library 6.0 enables developers to write code once and get performance benefits across a range of Intel-based systems. The library is designed for math-intensive applications such as financial modeling and geological survey analysis software.
"The Intel Math Kernel Library 6.0 is a key element in Intel's tools portfolio, delivering exceptional performance for engineering, scientific and financial applications," said Jonathan Khazam, general manager of Intel's Software Products Division. "Intel Math Kernel Library 6.0 adds significant new capabilities such as multidimensional Fast Fourier Transforms for signal processing and high-performance random number generator functions for various analysis applications."
"Intel Math Kernel Library 6.0 has replaced much of our proprietary code for Itanium(R)-based systems running Linux* because of the performance benefits it delivers," said Joe Griffin, Nastran* Linux porting specialist, MSC.Software. "The library also reduces the time our developers spend on maintaining existing code and enables them to focus on adding new functionality to our virtual product development applications."
In addition to the Intel Math Kernel Library 6.0, Intel offers a suite of software development products that includes Intel(R) C++ and Intel(R) Fortran compilers, the Intel(R) Thread Checker 1.0, Intel(R) VTune(TM) Performance Analyzers and the Intel(R) Integrated Performance Primitives software library.
