PathScale Compiler Suite

 

Application Development Focused on Maximum Performance

The PathScaleTM Compiler Suite by SiCortex represents the highest-performance 64-bit C, C++ and Fortran compilers for Linux-based environments. This advanced compiler suite takes advantage of the unique high-performance 64-bit features of SiCortex node processor chips, as well as Advanced Micro Devices AMD64 and the Intel ® Xeon™ EM64T architectures.

 

The Compiler Suite makes it easier to develop and deploy 64-bit applications into clustered environments. SiCortex has developed the industry's highest-performance C, C++, and Fortran 9X compilers for 64-bit Linux-based computer systems. In real-world application testing, HPC end-users have experienced up to 40% performance gain over alternative compiler products.

 

The Compiler Suite provides superior performance across both floating-point and integer-intensive applications. Application developers targeting 64-bit Linux servers will see immediate performance benefits from compiling with the PathScale compilers.

 

Packaged with SiCortex Systems

All SiCortex systems are delivered with the PathScale Compiler Suite by SiCortex. Both native and cross-compile versions are included, enabling superior application performance and a portable SiCortex development environment.
