Acumem launches Acumem ThreadSpotter 2010 Uppsala, 14 December 2009: Acumem, a provider of intelligent software for single- and multi-core environments, today announced the launch of its new Acumem ThreadSpotter 2010 product.
Acumem is continuing to quickly develop and improve its technology and making the improvements available to customer. At SuperComputing 2009 Acumem released Acumem ThreadSpotter 2010. ThreadSpotter 2010 brings new analysis capabilities in the form of suggestions of ways to improve performance by reducing cache pollution. Applications often fill the caches with data that is never reused before being evicted, and that therefore does not benefit from caching. ThreadSpotter now finds the locations in the code responsible for this cache pollution and suggests ways to avoid allocating cache space for the data. This improves performance by leaving more cache space for other data structures that do benefit from caching, and for other threads and applications that share the caches in multi-core systems. The new version also brings a major speed up of the sampling of multithreaded applications, often speeding up the sampling of heavily multithreaded applications by more than 10 times. This furthers improves the usability of the tool, especially when working with heavily threaded applications. Existing customers can now download the new version at www.acumem.com. Acumem’s technology enables owners of systems and applications to get the best performance from their system or application in both single- and multi-core environments. Acumem ThreadSpotter™ has proven to increase throughput in many applications by a factor of five or more, improving general scalability, saving processor cycles and decreasing power consumption. About Acumem Acumem is a provider of intelligent software which analyzes and optimizes application software performance in single- and multi-core environments. Acumem contributes to their customers’ success in maximizing the benefits of multi-core technology, achieving the full potential of their systems. Acumem works closely with leading companies in the multi-core market such as HP, Sun, Microsoft, Intel, IBM and AMD. Acumem is a privately held company based in Uppsala, Sweden. For more information, visit www.acumem.com Acumem’s technology enables owners of systems and applications to get the best performance from their system or application in both single- and multi-core environments. The target users of the tools are programmers, both optimization experts and non-expert, whereas the customers and people benefitting from the results are also found among System owners, Development Managers, Performance Evaluators, Benchmarks teams, etc.. Through the identification of SlowSpots™, Acumem’s tools help programmers to go directly to the parts of the code where improvement potential exists without any need to go through thousands of lines of code and vast amounts of data. Acumem SlowSpotter™ has proven to increase throughput in many applications by a factor of five, improving general scalability, saving processor cycles and decreasing power consumption. Acumem ThreadSpotter mainly targets programmers with expert knowledge in performance optimization and gives more options in the data capture part, allows for an unlimited number of threads to be analyzed and also advises on more complex code changes than Acumem SlowSpotter™. Just as Acumem SlowSpotter™, TheadSpotter gives hands-on advice based on analysis of cache and bandwidth related performance problems for single- and multi-core systems.
