Introduction to Guided Auto Parallelism

Guided Auto Parallelism (GAP) is a feature of the Intel® C++ Compiler that offers selective advice and, when correctly applied, results in auto-vectorization or auto-parallelization for serially-coded applications. Using the -guide option with your normal compiler options at -O2 or higher is sufficient to enable the GAP technology to generate the advice for auto-vectorization. Using -guide in conjunction with -parallel will enable the compiler to generate advice for auto-parallelization.

In this tutorial, you will:

  1. Prepare the sample application.

  2. Run guided auto parallelism.

  3. Analyze the guided auto parallelism report.

  4. Implement the report recommendations.
