Acumem Multicore Newsletter December 2009 Contents in this issue Acumem ThreadSpotter 2010 released at SuperComputing 2009 Acumem’s power saving technology receives major research grant from Vinnova Use Acumem’s professional services to get FAST results Thanks for visiting us at SuperComputing in Oregon Sign up for a free webinar to understand the performance implications multicore has on software Acumem ThreadSpotter 2010 released at SuperComputing 2009Acumem 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 to control cache pollution. The fact is that caches often are filled with data that does not stand a chance of ever being reused in a timely fashion. ThreadSpotter finds the locations in the code which are responsible and suggests ways to avoid allocating cache space for related data, leaving more cache space for smaller data structures. This also works favorably in multithreaded execution where many threads share caches. The new version also brings a major speed up of the sampling of multithreaded applications, often more than 10 times for heavily multithreaded applications. This furthers improves the usability of the tool. Existing customers can download the new version at www.acumem.com starting Monday Dec 14th. Acumem’s power saving technology receives major research grant from VinnovaAcumem’s technology continues to be appreciated and recently Acumem was awarded with a major research grant from Vinnova (The Swedish Governmental Agency for Innovation Systems). The research grant, which covers 2009 and 2010 aims at the new energy efficiency product line currently being developed. “The potential for increasing energy efficiency is high and our pre study has shown that it is possible to get 5-15% higher efficiency by using automatic optimization based on our technology” says Mats Nilsson, VP Engineering at Acumem. Use Acumem’s professional services to get FAST resultsAcumem is more than the highly appreciated tools for programmers. The technology is applicable in many areas and Acumem can assist clients in solving difficult performance problems. Using our professional services will enable you to get faster applications in a faster and more productive way. Acumem’s team of highly skilled professionals can make a big difference in projects with a need to optimize performance. We are specialists in analyzing your code and together with your developers we are finding and solving performance bottlenecks related to memory bandwidth and latency, multisocket and NUMA. In particular, we can help with older code bases written for single core architectures and when you have a need for performance improvements when moving to multicore.

Thanks for visiting us at SuperComputing in OregonAcumem would like to thank all visitors to our booth at SuperComputing and all the attendees of the presentation. The response was highly motivating and we will continue to develop innovative technology to help you develop even better software in a quicker way. We look forward from hearing from you and to see you again at upcoming events. Sign up for a free webinar to understand the performance implications multicore has on softwareCan performance of my applications really be improved and is it true at that multicore architectures do not give increased performance as a default? Join Acumem for a webinar were we give our view on the performance issues related to multicore and how these can be dealt with using Acumem’s performance tools. The seminar is called Multicore performance and Acumem technology.
