Intel Math Kernel on windows, calling from c# for random number generation

Has anyone used the Intel Math Kernel library http://software.intel.com/en-us/intel-mkl/ I am thinking of using this for Random Number generation from a C# application as we need extreme performance (1.6 trillion random numbers per day). Also any advice on minimising the overhead of consuming functions from this c++ code in my c# Monte...

How to compile OpenCV with ICC?

I am trying to compile OpenCV with icc on Linux, in order to profile the execution with intel tools. I installed the last version of icc with default options. I tried both "user" (icc is installed in my home) and "sudo" (icc is intalled in /opt) installs. The version of icc is 11.1 20090630 I also thought to source iccvars.sh, adding n...

Impact of "Ignore specific library" in Visual Studio

I'm working with an API that is delivered to customers as a static library. This library in turn makes use of another 3rd party library built with the Intel Compiler. This library has dependencies to some Intel libraries that I don't possess. When I build a test application I get past this by specifying these libraries in the "Ignore spe...

How to use Intel C++ Compiler with Qt Creator

I am writing a program wherein i will need to do a stupendous number of numerical calculations. But since I am developing the front end of the program in Qt Creator, I have as yet been dealing with MinGW. As such, is there any way to integrate or use the Intel C++ Compiler with QT Creator? Currently using IC++ 11.0 and QtCreator 1.2.1...

3D Engines for development on any mobile platform

I am planning to develop a game for all of the mobile platform and have pretty much zeroed down on the concepts of the game. but the only issue I'm facing as of now is that I have no idea what would be the best libraries + 3d Engine to us to achieve the best results on the hardware on some of the upcoming mobiles. I'm talking about the i...

Is an Intel i7 (4 cores, 8 HT-based logical cores) better than an Intel Core 2 Quad for VisualC++ development?

I have to make a recommendation to management regarding whether or not we should spend the extra money to purchase new computers with Intel i7 CPUs (i7 950s) or whether we should buy Intel Core 2 Quad processors (Q9550s or something equivalent.) Our main task are Microsoft Visual C++ development, thus we are aiming to ensure the best co...

What is the Q4 2009 lineup of Intel and AMD consumer level processors, and what are the basic differences between them?

I'm out of the loop with respect to the specific differences between the various Intel and AMD processors. For example, what's the difference between Core 2, i5, and i7? What are the comparable AMD processors? I'm talking basic system architecture here, not minute differences. Thanks! ...

How should application perform in 64-bit vs. 32-bit intel architectures?

I want to know the relative performances of a normal C++ application in the following scenarios: Built as 32-bit app, run on Intel 64-bit processor (x64-64) Built as 32-bit app, run on Intel 32-bit processor (x86) Built as 64-bit app. Also, what factors should I consider when modifying / developing the application to make it to run f...

Why is my java application faster on an AMD processor?

I made the observation that my java application is running much faster when executed on an AMD processor in contrast to an Intel CPU. For example my JBoss starts in about 30 seconds on a 3 GHz AMD processor and needs about 60 seconds on a 3 GHz Intel processor with identical disc, RAM and OS? Has anyone else made this observation? Why ...

Will I have any issues using a PPC Mac Mini as a build machine for a 10.5+ application while developing on Snow Leopard?

We develop using Xcode 3.2 on Snow Leopard. The application we're developing however targets 10.5+ (Leopard). I'm looking at setting up a continuous integration server (via CruiseControl). I have an old PPC Mac Mini around. I realize that it will only run 10.5 with Xcode 3.1.3. Am I likely to have any luck setting the Mini up as the i...

Intel MKL vs. AMD Math Core Library

Does anybody have experience programming for both the Intel Math Kernel Library and the AMD Math Core Library? I'm building a personal computer for high performance statistical computations and am debating on the components to buy. An appeal of the AMD Math Core library is that it is free, but I am in academia so the MKL is not that ex...

ICL, OS X.4/5 and Unix compliance ($UNIX2003)

Hi all, I'm trying to compile a Mac version of our lib for a customer that wants to include it in a Photoshop plugin, and he is having trouble linking our lib into his app. More detailed info: His plugin is built against the CS4 Photoshop SDK, which means the Mac OS base SDK should be 10.4. My lib is a static one, compiled with the Inte...

How does x86 handle store conditional instructions?

I am trying to find out what an x86 processor does when it encounters a store conditional instruction. For instance does it stall the front end of the pipeline and wait for the ROB buffer to become empty before it stops stalling the front end and execute the SC? Basically does it force the processor to become non speculative... Thanks ...
