1. Win8 on Intel Programming Course Desktop : Introduction Cédric Andreolli www.Intel-Software-Academic-Program.com paul.guermonprez@intel.com Intel Software 2013-03-20

2. Desktop Applications

3. 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

4. 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

5. Sensors in desktop applications

6. 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.

7. Intel Perceptual Computing

8. 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

9. Intel Perceptual computing Where can you start ? http://software.intel.com/en- 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

10. IPP

12. 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*

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

14. MKL

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

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

18. Intel Media SDK

19. What is it for ? API used for developing media applications Available for free Optimized for 4 th generation processors More information http://software.intel.com/en-us/vcsource/tools/media-sdk

20. Cordova

21. 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.)

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