"Over the past four years, AMD and PathScale have collaborated around
several common strengths; 64-bit multi-core scalability, outstanding
memory bandwidth utilization and optimal settings for a growing array of
leading-edge AMD specific architectural features. The PathScale Compiler
Suite provides software developers with excellent performance on AMD
processors and reduced development time due to outstanding GNU
compatibility. In this way, we help our system partners and developers
with real-world code to realize the enormous potential in this newest

" It should be noted that PathScale's bread-and-butter x86 compiler business will continue on. Developed at a time when compilers for Opteron-based HPC clusters were scarce, the PathScale x86 products filled a void in that rapidly expanding market. The C/C++ compilers are tightly integrated with the GNU tool chain, allowing users to build applications that mix and match GNU compiler generated objects with PathScale generated ones.

“This will allow PathScale LLC to focus on delivering even greater compiler performance and multicore processor scalability,” said Margaret Lewis, director, Commercial Solutions, AMD.
“PathScale remains an important member of the ecosystem of AMD partners who are working with AMD to evolve multicore processing.” (Full article here.)
