Win8 on Intel Programming Course Desktop : Introduction Cédric Andreolli Intel Software

Desktop Applications

Why desktop ? Desktop applications can: Use Win32/COM API.NET API Use almost any languages (C, C++, C#, etc.) Native libraries and Windows Store Applications Most of the Windows 7/XP libraries are no more available

Agenda Enable some of the Windows 8 features Sensors in desktop applications (WinRT) Improve your applications with Intel Perceptual Computing IPP/MKL Media SDK PhoneGap / Cordova

Sensors in desktop applications

Desktop and Sensors Win32 is a complex API You need to configure the objects you manipulate Big number of lines of code Use WinRT instead of COM or Win32 In desktop applications, devices such as sensors, GPS, etc. are available through WinRT and easy to use.

Intel Perceptual Computing

Intel Perceptual computing Close range camera HD camera Depth sensor Dual array microphone A lot of features Close-range hand and finger tracking Speech recognition Face Analysis

Intel Perceptual computing Where can you start ? us/vcsource/tools/perceptual-computing-sdk The SDK is available for free Order the camera The Creative* camera can be ordered from the Intel website

IPP

IPP: Integrated Performances Primitives Very efficient tool to perform operations such as: Signal processing Image processing Matrix operations Cryptography Support for C/C++ Multi Platform Windows*, Linux* and OS X*

IPP Takes advantage of: Multi cores architecture SSE2 to SSE4 How to get it ? Standalone or in Parallel Studio

MKL

MKL: Math Kernel Library Provides Math functions: BLAS LAPACK ScaLAPACK Solvers FFT, … Support for C/C++, Fortran Multi Platform Windows*, Linux* and OS X*

MKL Takes advantage of: Multi cores architecture SSE2 to SSE4 How to get it ? Standalone or in Parallel Studio

Intel Media SDK

What is it for ? API used for developing media applications Available for free Optimized for 4 th generation processors More information

Cordova

Develop mobile applications Free and open source framework for developing mobile applications HTML5/JavaScript/CSS How does it work? It uses a webview to display the HTML content It also has access to devices (sensors, camera, etc.)

Cordova PhoneGap Cordova was first known as PhoneGap Build your applications on: BlackBerry IOS Android Windows desktop Etc.
