The Portland Group®, a wholly-owned subsidiary of STMicroelectronics, today announced that release 2010 of the PGI® line of high-performance parallelizing compilers and development tools for Linux, Mac OS X and Windows will be available on Tuesday, November 17. PGI 2010 is the first general release to include full support for the PGI Accelerator Programming model v1.0 standard on x64 processor-based systems incorporating NVIDIA CUDA-enabled Graphical Processing Units (GPUs). In addition to supporting high-level programming of accelerators using the PGI Accelerator programming model, the PGI Release 2010 also includes PGI CUDA Fortran, an explicit GPU programming model and application programming interface (API) that gives expert programmers direct control of all aspects of programming NVIDIA GPUs.
The PGI Accelerator programming model is a collection of compiler directives used to specify regions of code in Fortran and C programs that can be offloaded from a host CPU to an attached accelerator to enhance performance. Applications optimized using the PGI Accelerator directives remain 100% portable to other compilers and platforms, and execute on systems with or without a GPU accelerator.
