Canny edge detector algorithm is a famous algorithm in image processing. One of our customers was inquiring about the performance of that algorithm, so our performance engineers took a look. As always when dealing with unfamiliar codebases, we didn’t know what to expect. Some algorithms have a lot of room for performance improvements, others don’t. […]

Parallelware Trainer 1.3 released
We’re happy to announce the release of Parallelware Trainer 1.3 which now supports the detection of defects and recommendations for concurrency and parallelism. We expect this new feature to further improve the learning process by providing feedback about code issues right in the integrated editor. Parallelware Trainer provides an enhanced interactive learning environment, including provision […]
OpenACC programming: The OpenACC parallelization process (5/9)
This is the fifth video of our OpenACC programming course based on Appentra’s unique, productivity-oriented approach to learn best practices for parallel programming using OpenACC. Learning outcomes include how to decompose codes into parallel patterns and a practical step-by-step process based on patterns for parallelizing any code. In this video, we explain the incremental approach […]
