Compilers and tools optimise quad-core systems
PGI compilers and tools are designed to extract maximum performance from the latest multicore processors from both AMD and Intel.
"The Portland Group is meeting the challenge of processor complexity and the growing need for high-performance parallel software head on".
"The next-generation of software development is on the horizon and PGI is well-positioned to enable it", said Bryan Richard, Editorial Director, Linux Magazine.
PGI compilers and tools are widely used in high-performance technical computing (HPTC) and other application areas that require parallelisation and optimisation capabilities to extract maximum performance from the latest multicore processors from AMD and Intel.
The compilers and tools from PGI deliver a complete, uniform, optimising, parallel C/C++ and Fortran application development environment across 32 and 64bit systems based on either AMD or Intel multicore processors running either the Linux or Windows operating systems.
"It's quite an honour for The Portland Group to be nominated to the list of top 20 companies to watch by Linux Magazine", said Douglas Miles, Director, The Portland Group.
"While PGI has been delivering production-quality parallel compilers and development tools for Linux since 1997, the mainstreaming of clustering and multi-core processors in the past year has really put a focus on the importance of these capabilities".
