Hello Intel MKL users,
The beta program for our compilers and libraries has begun. The Intel(R) Composer XE 2013 SP1 beta contains Intel(R) MKL 11.1 beta in which we've expanded our support of Intel(R) Xeon Phi(TM) coprocessor support to Windows hosts and expanded numerical reproducibility to programs with unaligned data. Look through the invite below and join us.
Dear Developer,
You are invited to the Intel® Composer XE 2013 SP1 beta program for Intel compilers and libraries. Please reply to this email for beta participation questions or to opt-out of further contact with Intel.
The products contain exciting new technologies and useful improvements to Intel¹s existing software development tools:
• New install option that dynamically downloads and installs only the components you select.
• Preview feature offering Windows-based C and C++ support for Intel® Graphics Technology for 32-bit Windows* applications. See the product release notes for limitations.
• New debugging support on Linux* and OS X* via the GNU Project Debugger* (GDB*) with Intel extensions for branch tracing, data race detection, Pointer Checker support, and support for Intel® Transactional Synchronization Extensions.
• Compiler support for SIMD and target constructs of upcoming OpenMP* 4.0 features as defined in the RC2 release candidate. Includes support for taskgroup constructs, new forms of atomic capture and update, and improved thread affinity controls.
• New Fortran features including co-array support on Intel® Xeon Phi(TM) coprocessors and user defined derived-type input and output.
• The Conditional Numerical Reproducibility (CNR) feature in the Intel® Math Kernel Library (Intel® MKL) has been extended to provide reproducible results for unaligned memory.
• Other new features include additional C++11 support, and an optional GUI-based installer on Linux*. See the release notes for details.
When you are ready to get started, follow this link to register, and download the beta software. You will be asked to complete a short pre-beta survey: http://softwareproductsurvey.intel.com/survey/150266/123c
