Software Development Tools for distributed and cross platform HPC environments

Abstract
Intel has been in the business of supporting the software and application development for well more than a decade. The focus has been on driving application performance running on Intel CPUs such as Xeon, ATOM, Core Architecture for Shared memory and Distributed memory (Cluster) systems. This talk will describe the main upcoming enhancements of the Intel Parallel Studio XE 2020 Editions, a software development tools package addressing the needs for segments such as enterprise and High Performance Computing (HPC) with numerical programming tasks. The speech will also touch very briefly on performance optimized AI solutions enhancing inference and training on distributed HPC systems supported by our tools and libraries which are part of the Intel tools suites. There is an Intel tutorial on Tuesday that dives into the details with technical labs. Last but not least the presenter will address the latest planned developments of oneAPI, an open development toolkit addressing the needs to support one development environment for various platforms ranging from CPUs, GPUs and FPGAs all the way to Accelerators.
