-=== Performance improvements ===
+===Amélioration de la performance===
-Binaries compiled with the Intel compiler now automatically support both AVX2 and AVX512 instruction sets. In technical terms, we call them ''multi-architecture binaries'', also known as [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fat_binary fat binaries]. This means that when running on a cluster such as Cedar and Graham which has multiple generations of processors, you don't have to manually load one of the <tt>arch</tt> modules if you use software packages generated by the Intel compiler.
+Les binaires générés avec le compilateur Intel supportent automatiquement les jeux d’instructions AVX2 et AVX512. Techniquement, ce sont des binaires multi-architecture, aussi appelés [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fat_binary fat binaries]. Ceci signifie que quand vous utilisez une grappe comme Cedar ou Graham qui ont connu plusieurs générations de processeurs, vous n’avez plus besoin de charger manuellement un des modules <tt>arch</tt> si vous utilisez des paquets logiciels générés avec le compilateur Intel.
 Many software packages which were previously installed either with GCC or with Intel are now installed at a lower level of the software hierarchy, which makes the same module visible, irrespective of which compiler is loaded.  For example, this is the case for many bioinformatics software packages as well as the [[R]] modules, which previously required loading the <code>gcc</code> module. This could be done because we introduced optimizations specific to CPU architectures at a level of the software hierarchy lower than the compiler level.
