Turn a single-threaded application into a multi-threaded one quickly with Intel Advisor. Making a single-threaded application multi-threaded can be time consuming, involving additional code complexity. Intel Advisor makes this task easy by showing you what parts of your code can be executed on a separate thread and where to split your code into separate threads. You can also forecast the performance gain your application will experience as a result of adding parallelism. This course shows you how to use this valuable software to convert your applications to multi-threaded.

Topics include:

* Installing Intel Advisor

* Sorting source code

* Integrating Visual Studio and Intel Advisor

* Discovering parallel code

* Adding markers for parallelism

* Predicting parallel behavior

* Predicting data sharing problems

* Adding parallelism with a task handler

* Forecasting performance gains
