To keep pace with the industry-wide shift toward multi-core processing, technology companies are reshaping their product roadmaps to capitalize on the rich opportunities and educating their development staff on the benefits of parallelism. The development community is getting more active as well, recognizing the possibilities offered by multi-threaded applications and seeking to learn the techniques that will influence their careers in the future.

To help unlock the unrealized potential of multi-core processing, Intel is actively involved on several fronts. Using a variety of communication techniques and producing resources to equip the software community with multi-threading expertise, Intel is expanding their outreach into new areas to reach a new generation of software professionals.

Intel’s innovative outreach is advancing in these areas:

• In the classroom. Cooperative educational venues with major universities and expertdriven training sessions are helping communicate the essential multi-threading development skills all programmers will need to advance their careers.
  
• On the Web. Through a variety of community-building activities—including blogs, forums, chalk-talk videos, FAQs, and expert question-and-answer sessions the Intel Multi-Core Developer Community-Intel® Software Network Web site offers a focal point for learning the coding skills for next-generation programming on multi-core platforms.
  
• In worldwide competitions. The Intel Multi-Threading Competition Series brought creativity to a new peak as developers worldwide vied for top honors.
