Level Up Your Code with Intel Developer Tools

STAC Builder Day consists of vendor-led training sessions that equip engineers and developers with ways to build more competitive solutions.

Space is limited. See Eligibility below. Register by clicking 'Get tickets' to secure your spot in this session with Intel!

Intel provided the following description of the content they will cover:

"Intel hardware and tools have been evolving at a rapid pace. If you program in C++, Java, or Python and it has been a while since you learned about ways to improve performance, this is your chance to level up your knowledge--and your code.

Through a combination of live demos and highly interactive tutorials, this half-day session will teach you how to get the most performance and efficiency for high-throughput applications like risk and pricing, back testing, simulation, and electronic trading, whether it runs on prem or in the cloud.

The focus is the Intel oneAPI Toolkit, a performance optimization toolchain widely used by financial service companies. In particular, we will roll up our sleeves and cover how to:

• Zero in on the biggest opportunities to improve the performance of your code on CPU and GPU using VTune profiling
• Leverage highly optimized, parallelized routines for math functions (e.g., BLAS, vectors, RNG, numerical reproducibility) using Intel’s extensive Math Kernel Library
• Reduce compile time, support heterogeneous computing, and sanitize code by transitioning from classic ICC to the LLVM-based ICX
• Auto-migrate existing CUDA code to cross-platform code that runs on Intel, Nvidia, and AMD GPUs with negligible performance degradation
• Accelerate AI inference by leveraging the Intel AMX & XMX engines built into Xeon & Data Center GPU max

There will be a snack break roughly halfway through the session. You'll need the break!

Our expert speakers will be:

• Jeff Reinemann, VTune Technical Consulting Engineer
• Fengrui Zhang, Compiler and Libraries Technical Consulting Engineer
• Ashish Gupta, Software Business Development"

Eligibility

End User Organizations

An “End User” organization is a financial organization such as a bank, broker, exchange, hedge fund, prop shop, etc. If your firm is an End User organization that is a NOT member of the Council(see this list), please go ahead and register, then sign up for a free Observer Membership, or we will reach out about membership.

Business Application Vendors

A business-application vendor (BAV) is an organization that does not provide infrastructure but rather provides software or services that deliver business-level functionality to End User organizations. In their capacity as users of technology infrastructure, BAVs may send employees in purely technical job functions (architecture, development, etc.) to this event under the same terms as End User organizations (above).
