Codeplay makes autoparallelising compiler

[jorg]

"The compiler will put out code for x86, Ageia PhysX and Cell/PS3. There were three tests talked about today, CRC, Julia Ray Tracing and Matrix Multiply. All were run on 8 cores (2S Xeon 5300 CPUs) and showed 739, 789 and 660% speedups respectively."

maybe programing for the ps3 wont be so "hard" any more

"This means that the worst scaling factor on their code is above 80% and the best over 98%, not bad at all. "

sounds like it efficient too
