Global supercomputer leader Cray Inc. (NASDAQ: CRAY) today announced it has acquired the PathScale Compiler Suite assets from SiCortex. Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed.
Cray plans to leverage some of the PathScale intellectual property to enhance Cray’s own compiler offerings over time. The company will contribute other parts of the PathScale intellectual property to the open source community through an alliance with NetSyncro.com, an organization of compiler engineers with strong open source ties. NetSyncro.com will continue developing the PathScale Compiler Suite, provide support for users of the software and will rebrand the effort under the original PathScale name.
