PathScale Compiler Ported to Multicore MIPS 64-Bit Architecture

 "For our multi-teraflop cluster with breakthrough performance per
dollar, per watt, and per square foot, SiCortex needed a very low
power, 64-bit CPU core with outstanding delivered performance on HPC
applications. After surveying all of the available options, the
combination of MIPS and PathScale was clearly the right choice," said
Bob Supnik, Vice President of Engineering at SiCortex. SiCortex will
use the PathScale compiler to generate application code that runs
across thousands of processors simultaneously.

""We're excited to have the high performance PathScale Compiler running
on our multiprocessor SOCs." said Lloyd Hasley, Vice President and
General Manager of Broadcom's Chipset, Processor, Security and Storage
Business Unit. "Now our customers will have the combined benefit of the (PathScale) high performance compiler and Broadcom's power-efficient
processor SOCs."
