Intel Parallel Studio XE combines Intel's industry-leading C/C++ and Fortran compilers; performance and parallel libraries; error checking, code robustness, and performance profiling tools into a single suite offering.

Intel Composer XE delivers performance-oriented features to software engineers using C/C++ and Fortran, enabling them to develop and maintain high-performance and enterprise applications on the latest IA processors, including the upcoming Intel processor codenamed Sandy Bridge.

This package delivers advanced capabilities for development of application parallelism and winning performance for the full range of Intel® processorbased platforms and other compatible platforms. It includes the compiler's breadth of advanced optimization, multithreading, and processor support, as well as automatic processor dispatch, vectorization, and loop unrolling.

Intel® Parallel Studio advances all development lifecycles, providing powerful tools that can be used independently or together to meet the needs of workflows and development teams. From one-person startups to enterprises with thousands of developers working on a single application, Intel Parallel Studio enhances productivity and enables reliable applications that leverage legacy serial code, take advantage of multicore, and scale for manycore.

Intel® Parallel Advisor, a threading assistant tool for Microsoft Visual Studio C++ developers, helps identify where to add parallelism to existing source code. It guides developers and architects through the process of exploring parallelism, identifying those areas with the greatest parallelism potential. Intel Parallel Advisor also provides tools for proposing parallelization, and for evaluating the performance and correctness of the proposed parallelization. This insight helps developers make better design decisions, providing information on the consequences of those choices and suggesting ways to resolve issues at the design stage.before major effort has been committed.

Intel® Parallel Inspector 2011, a dynamic analysis tool for serial and parallel applications, combines memory and threading error checking in one powerful tool. It helps increase the application reliability and quality of Microsoft Visual Studio C/C++ applications. Using dynamic instrumentation, Intel Parallel Inspector makes it easier to test code more often, without the need to use special test builds or compilers.
