Modern processors give you the ability to tap into multi-level parallelism capabilities through access to advanced technologies such as multiple cores and co-processors. Applications in many industries can benefit greatly from these modern features whether in simply gaining speed boots or doing full-fledged high performance computing (HPC). In addition to tapping the power of the cores, modern coding practices can also offer features such as portability and better long-term sustainability.
Intel offers a number of resources to help in the modernization of your code. These range from free training to a Developer Community. If you are looking to modernize your code to tap the power of today’s systems, then you can find more information in eWeek’s article, A Community for Developing Modern Code.
