Intel Ct
Encyclopedia
Intel Ct is a programming model
developed by Intel to ease the exploitation of its future multicore chips, as demonstrated by the Tera-Scale
research program.
It is based on the exploitation of SIMD
to produce automatically parallelized
programs.
On August 19, 2009, Intel acquired RapidMind
, a privately held company founded and headquartered in Waterloo, Ontario
, Canada
. RapidMind and Ct combined into a successor named Intel Array Building Blocks
(ArBB) released in September 2010.
Parallel programming model
A parallel programming model is a concept that enables the expression of parallel programs which can be compiled and executed. The value of a programming model is usually judged on its generality: how well a range of different problems can be expressed and how well they execute on a range of...
