Intel ships 'multi-threading friendly' compilers

Intel has released updated compilers designed to help developers create software tuned to multi-core processors, the company said yesterday.

Intel Compilers 9.0 for C++ and Fortran are geared toward multi-thread programming, with appropriate upgrades to the debugging tools needed to polish such complex coding, even after the compiler has optimised the binary.

The new compilers include an "auto-parallelisation" feature that sniffs out opportunities to spin multiple execution threads, the software giant said. The development tools support OpenMP 2.5, the multi-threading API for Windows and Unix.
