Vector Fabrics claims it can speed up multicore design
According to Vector Fabrics, the tool can prevent the appearance of those hard-to-find and hard-to-reproduce threading bugs
Tool partitions code over asymmetric multi-processors
Vector Fabrics has introduced a web-based tool for spreading embedded code over multiple processors of different types – asymmetric multi-processors. Called vfEmbedded, it is based on the firm’s vfAnalyst which is a partitioning tool for symmetric multi-processors. “vfAnalyst assumes symmetric multi-processing,” the firm’s CEO mike Beunder told Electronics Weekly. “There are a few platforms that do that, a quad core ...
Tool parallelises C regardless of hardware
Dutch start-up Vector Fabrics has announced parallelisation tools for C. Both web-based, vfAnalyst identifies existing parallelisation opportunities in code, as well as flagging changes required to free-up further parallelisation opportunities; whereas vfSoftware takes this further, automating
