Tool optimizes multiple core code

RapidMind Platform v2.0. allows developers to more quickly and easily build applications that exploit the full capabilities of multicore processors, including Cell Broadband Engine and Nvida/ATI graphics processor units. Developers program in standard C++ using existing compilers and tools, and the RapidMind platform “parallelizes” across multiple cores, intelligently distributing data in a fashion that maximizes performance of the hardware.

The package includes a code optimizer that reduces overhead, a load balancer that plans and synchronizes work to keep all cores fully utilized, and a data manager that reduces bottlenecks. (Demonstration version, free; full version, starting at $1,500 per socketavailable now,)
