The Intel Storage Performance Snapshot Tool gives you a fast, high-level look at system storage performance and helps you understand the potential benefits of moving to faster storage. To demonstrate the power of this tool, let’s consider two snapshots while running a MySQL database workload against the same system but with two storage configurations.
Case Study: More Efficient Numerical Simulation in Astrophysics
July 11, 2017 by Leave a Comment
Novosibirsk State University is one of the major research and educational centers in Russia and one of the largest universities in Siberia. When researchers at the University were looking to develop and optimize a software tool for numerical simulation of magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) problems with hydrogen ionization —part of an astrophysical objects simulation (AstroPhi) project—they needed to optimize the tool’s performance on Intel® Xeon Phi™ processor-based hardware.
Go for Big Data

Data scientists generally ascribe to the “machine learning process” which is seen as a roadmap to follow when working on a data science project. The infographic at the end of this article provides a detailed work flow that it is general enough to encompass pretty much any data science project.
Bringing Artificial Intelligence to Life
May 18, 2017 by Leave a Comment
Artificial Intelligence (AI) may seem like a vision for a distant future, but in truth, AI is all around us as machines are increasingly learning to sense, learn, reason, act and adapt in the real world. This is transforming industries and changing our lives in amazing new ways, by amplifying human capabilities, automating tedious or dangerous tasks, and solving some of our most challenging societal problems. In this article, we’ll discuss the path to AI with Intel technologies.
Intel Case Study: Speeding Up a Big Data Platform
May 11, 2017 by Leave a Comment
In this technology cast study, we’ll examine MeritData, Inc., a leading big data analysis technology and service provider in China. The company’s product is called Tempo, a big data platform that has been widely used by well-known power, manufacturing, financial, and global enterprises and by cloud service providers. MeritData helps its customers explore and exploit data value―and ultimately creates value through data processing, data mining, and data visualization solutions. This is achieved through the fusion of high-performance computing (HPC) technology, leading data analysis algorithms, high-dimensional visualization, and creative data visualization language.
