AMD kann sich mit STMicroelectronics einen weiteren Partner zur Entwicklung von x86-64 Software sichern.
Portland. Ore, xx September, 2002 – The Portland Group™ Compiler Technology team of STMicroelectronics (NYSE:STM) today announced its collaboration with AMD to provide its acclaimed PGIÒCDK™ turn-key Cluster Development Kit® package of compilers and tools for the upcoming AMD Athlon™ and AMD Opteron™ processors based on Hammer technology and x86-64 architecture. The x86-64 CDK toolset will consist of scalar and parallel Fortran, C and C++ compilers, debuggers, profilers, tools and utilities that simplify setup, management and application scalar and parallel development for Linux workstations, servers and clusters while maximizing performance. Significant recent additions to the Linux CDK are the OpenMP and MPI parallel debugger and profiler enabling the debugging and profiling of multi-threaded, multi-process and hybrid parallel software applications for Linux servers and clusters. Also, for the first time, the CDK will target the 64-bit Microsoft®Windows® operating system for the x86-64 architecture as well as Linux for x86-64. "The stability and performance of PGI’s compilers and tools coupled with the simplified migration experience from x86 to AMD x86-64 technology stand to provide significant benefit to our customers,” said Ed Gasiorowski, AMD’s director of developer relations, Computation Products Group. "The PGI CDK toolset is comprised of efficient and high performance compilers and tools that will assist AMD in our goal of providing high performance, high- reliability computing solutions to industry end users. “It’s gratifying when a leader in general-purpose processor design and manufacturing chooses the PGI CDK compilers and tools as a key element of their solution set,” said Vince Schuster, Director of The Portland Group Compiler Technology and former CEO of The Portland Group, Inc. “There has been a significant increase in the demand for our cluster development software which we believe is stemming from the use of x86 processor systems to standardize methods, minimize costs and maximize performance while staying on the cutting edge of processor development. AMD’s x86-64 technology- based platforms should provide, by far, the easiest migration path for application developers wanting to move from 32-bit computing platforms to the more powerful 64-bit computing platforms.”
