I signed up for Intel’s annual public beta (you can too by registering for it), and now I can share some of what I’ve found in the latest version of the software development tools. These are serious tools for Python, C, C++, and Fortran developers who are optimization-minded, and I couldn’t pass up the opportunity to try them out—for free!
Intel has made signing up easy, and this entitles you to download and install fully functional versions of its tools. I’ve downloaded and installed the tools on my Windows 10 machine, my iMac running the latest (Sierra) macOS, and three different Linux boxes (running SUSE, Ubuntu, and Linbuntu). So far, everything has worked flawlessly.
