Intel Software Network as a platform for discussing new ideas (and startups) in programming

The Russian-language segment of the Intel Software Network has already been mentioned on Habré as a place where blogs are kept, articles are published, holy wars are held in forums. And although the inscription on the logo reads “Direct Communication with Intel Engineers”, not only they can communicate on ISN. And you can communicate, for example, with other representatives of the community and discuss your ideas. An example of such a discussion, I hope, will be happening right now when you comment on (I hope) this topic. Under the cut - an introduction to the topic.

We write quite actively about our VivaMP static analyzer (included in PVS-Studio, I don’t give any links - you know them :-)), intended for developers of parallel OpenMP applications. And we often do this at ISN, where we take part in the discussion. Why? Well, because the compiler from Intel has very close functionality, and our analyzer may well be of interest to users of this compiler. In addition to us, other people write about their software products, in the development of which they participate or are sponsored by.

For example, today a new man with the nickname NGS published on his ISN post " Static Analysis: A View from Different Angles", in which he proposed the idea of ​​developing a tool for graphical visualization of OpenMP-programs, just built on the basis of static analysis. And right now you can take part in that discussion, speak out about this idea.

On the other hand, if you have your own idea about a possible new software product for developers, it’s best to express it on ISN, for example, for quite some time we have been hatching the idea of ​​inserting a code analysis module written using the Intel Thread Building Blocks library into VivaMP . the idea in the form of text, but when it is issued, we will publish it in its ISN.

Summary of the post:

1. If you have ideas for software products for programmers, we invite you to discuss them on ISN. This is not a startup competition, but you can get criticism from qualified technicians.
2. If your ideas are not there, then discuss the ideas of other people. For example, this one .
