Sun Studio 11- Now Available (and FREE)
Howdy,
Today, Sun announced the availability of [b]Sun Studio 11[/b], the latest release of our venerable set of optimizing compilers and tools. We are very excited about this release for many reasons, including:
* Record-setting optimizing C,C++,Fortran compilers
[b]App performance =?Platform + OS + Compilers/Tools[/b]
Using the latest SPARC/x64/x86-systems and Solaris/OpenSolaris versions is great. But to get maximum performance for your app, you need to upgrade to Sun Studio 11.

* Exploits multicore (CMT) systems for maximum throughput performance
- Multicore optimizations (UltraSPARC, x64)
- OpenMP 2.5 support with autoscoping across all compilers
- Support for OpenMP/Solaris/Posix threads in debugger & performance analyzer
- Dataspace profiling provides hardware and program views into the performance costs associated with application memory references
* Providing Platform Choice: Solaris 8,9,10 (SPARC, x64, x86) and RHEL 4/SLES 9
- Optimizing compilers with Solaris versions only
- Linux version has debugger, performance analyzer, IDE, etc.
- Technology preview of Linux compilers:

* [b]FREE, unrestricted license (no gotchas)[/b]
Sun Studio has been a good and growing business for Sun, but our intent is very transparent with this pricing model change- we want to accelerate the adoption of Solaris and Sun Studio.
