Intel(R) Advisor XE 2013 Update 4 is now available as part of Studio XE 2013 SP1 packages

Intel(R) Advisor XE 2013 Update 4 was released in late July, 2013 and is now available as part of the following Studio XE 2013 SP1 packages:

Intel(R) Parallel Studio XE 2013 SP1

Intel(R) C++ Studio XE 2013 SP1 

Intel(R) Fortran Studio XE 2013 SP1

Intel(R) Cluster Studio XE 2013 SP1

Please download the latest and greatest version of your favorite Studio XE suite from the Intel Registration Center (http://registrationcenter.intel.com) to take advantage of the latest features and functionality!

Here is what's new in Update 4:

• Increased values for the Target CPU Count in the Suitability Report window, including the scalability graph. To modify the current value, specify the Maximum CPU Count in the Options > General dialog box.
• Ways to skip program initialization for Survey and Suitability analysis, by either starting the tools in a paused collection state or pausing collection for a specified time. To resume collection, either use the Resume Collection annotation or click the Resume button.
• The side command toolbar is more accessible. For example, to start Survey or Suitability analysis in a paused collection state, use the << button to show it. After analysis completes, use the >> button to hide it, which increases the width available for the Report window.
• New options that let you display or hide the warning message for missing debug information (Survey) and set the Suitability Report's Maximum CPU Count.
• Several new messages, a visual indication in the result tab name when a tool is waiting for you to click a button, and other usability enhancements.

Over the next several days, I hope to provide more details about some of the key features above. In the meanwhile, I encourage you to explore the features and let us know of your feedback!
