Software performance optimization hands-on training:

You are invited to a specialized 1-day software optimization training lead by a tools expert from Intel Software and Services Group.

The training targets Software developers using C/C++/Fortran/Python and related analysis tools and focuses on industry oriented hands-on labs using Intel® XeonTM servers. Notebooks will be provided by Intel in order to analyse data collected on the Intel® XeonTM Servers. The participants will learn how to achieve significant performance improvements and create more reliable serial and parallel applications.
