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 1.6 released
We’re glad to announce the release of Parallelware Trainer 1.6 which features a significant overhaul of how you interact with parallelization opportunities. We’ve also extended the GPU offloading support by allowing the copy of multi-dimensional arrays using OpenMP as well as through new GPU-specific defects and recommendations. In total, 6 new defects and 8 new […]
CESGAHACK5 returns in December to accelerate the execution time of applications of scientists and developers
The Galicia Supercomputing Center (CESGA) and Appentra Solutions will host the 5th CESGAHACK virtually, from 14th to 18th December 2020. The five-day virtual hackathon aims to help scientists and application developers to answer questions by speeding up their application runtime, and reducing how long they spend coding the improved runtime. This year the event will […]
Appentra awarded for its Entrepreneurial Initiative
The Galician Computer Engineering Professional College (CPEIG) awards the Entrepreneurial Initiative Award to Appentra, for its growth since its birth in 2012 as a spin-off of the University of A Coruña. The awards ceremony will be held on November 27 at the “XII Noite da Enxeñaría en Informática de Galicia” in Santiago de Compostela, which […]
Parallelware Analyzer 0.16 released
We are pleased to announce the availability of Parallelware Analyzer 0.16. This release features a redesigned pwloops tool and new checks to improve the detection of data races and GPU data movement issues: Redesign of pwloops to better match the parallelization workflow: first, make sure that the code is analyzable; second, see what computation patterns […]
Appentra winner of the ‘Innovative Science’ category at the Innovation Radar Prize 2020
The European Commission has awarded prizes to Europe’s most promising innovations emerging from EU funded research and innovation projects. The 12 finalists competed in three prize categories: “Women-led innovation”, “Tech for Society” and “Innovative Science”. The final of the Innovation Radar Prize 2020 took place online on September 24, 2020 during the European Commission’s R&I […]
Parallelware Analyzer 0.15 released
We are excited to announce the availability Parallelware Analyzer 0.15. This release has the following new features: Memory access patterns reporting. Now pwloops provides information not only about computational parallel patterns but also about memory access patterns. You can find more information about the patterns in our knowledge base. Use OpenMP teams to offload to […]
Parallelware Trainer 1.5 released
We’re happy to announce the release of Parallelware Trainer 1.5 which brings exciting new features to offload computations to GPUs. Two offloading to GPU modes are now available for OpenMP. Naive parallelization using offloading consists of using the directive “target parallel for”. However, in order to better map to GPUs architectures, the use of “teams […]
Parallelware Analyzer 0.14 now available in the Early Access Program
(Update: the Early Access program is no longer available) We are happy to announce the availability of Parallelware Analyzer 0.14. This release has a significant number of new features: Linux, Windows and MacOS versions: Parallelware Analyzer was available for Linux x86 and Power architectures supporting C/C++ and Fortran; now it is also available for Windows […]
