Intel Cluster Toolkit v3.2.018 (ISO)

 

Intel® Cluster Toolkit 3.2 (US$999) provides exceptional value at a significantly discounted price for clusters running either Linux* or Microsoft Windows* Compute Cluster Server by bundling Intel® Trace Analyzer and Collector, Intel® Math Kernel Library (Intel® MKL), Intel® MPI Library, and Intel® MPI Benchmarks into a single package. Easy to install and easy to use, this software package helps you develop, analyze and optimize performance of parallel applications for clusters using IA-32, IA-64, and Intel® 64 architectures.

Features
Adding support for Microsoft Windows Compute Cluster Server as well as for Linux clusters, the Intel Cluster Toolkit 3.2 assures industry wide compatibility AND fully tested interoperability of these best in class tools:
* Intel® MPI Library 3.2 - outstanding performance, flexibility and ease of use
* Intel® Trace Analyzer and Collector 7.2 – A leading MPI performance analysis product
* Intel® Math Kernel Library 10.1 – The flagship of high performance math libraries. Extensively threaded, highly optimized, core math functions including BLAS, LAPACK, ScaLAPACK, Sparse Solvers, Fast Fourier Transforms, Vector Math, and more
* Intel® MPI Benchmarks 3.2 – easy performance comparison of MPI functions and patterns


The latest releases of all the Cluster Tools have increased performance and ease-of use while improving interoperability, scalability, and the number of user options. In one install session, Intel Cluster Toolkit 3.2 saves time by providing a single interface for installation of multiple packages on both the head node and compute nodes. Help is available in the extensive documentation, online help, manuals, and white papers.

With a valid product serial number for the Intel Cluster Toolkit, you can register and/or login to the Intel® Software Development Products Registration Center and download the package and updates for one year from the date of purchase. Support extensions can also be purchased. See the left side toolbar for additional support resources including community forums, compatibility, and solutions.
