Abstract

This session describes the Intel® microarchitecture (Larrabee), which is designed to efficiently execute highly parallel applications. Topics in this session include:

• Larrabee multi-core hardware design, which uses wide vector processors for high computational density
• New vector and scalar instructions that enable a different way to execute parallel applications
• Software architecture to support graphics APIs such as DirectX as well as non-graphical applications
• Demonstrations of advanced applications that show the power of Larrabee’s parallelism and flexibility
