Sun has released the SunTM Studio 10 software that extends its development environment to the AMD64 architecture. This developer tool suite is designed for C, C++ and Fortran application development, offering a comprehensive, integrated suite for development, debugging, tuning and deployment of enterprise applications on Sun platforms.

New features included in this version are as follows:

• 64-bit compiler support for the SolarisTM Operating System (Solaris OS) for x86 Platforms
• Improved feature parity between Solaris OS (SPARCR Platform Edition) and x86 Platforms
• Improved code generation for AMD Opteron processors for both 32- and 64-bit architectures
• Support for C++ template parameters
• Numerous performance improvements and bug fixes

Sun Studio 10 software provides a common debugger that can visually debug single and multi-threaded C, C++ and Fortran code, as well as handling intermixed JavaTM and native code.

This latest version is fully compatible with previous releases and other software including the Forte Developer 6 Update 2, SunTM ONE Studio 7 Enterprise Edition, Sun Studio 8 and Sun Studio 9 releases. The Sun Studio software can be easily upgraded. When installing, it is required that the updated version be placed in a different directory rather than over prior version.

It is supported on the Solaris OS for x86 Platforms and (SPARC Platform Edition), in addition to the following Linux platforms: Sun JavaTM Desktop System Release 2, SuSE Linux Enterprise Server (SLES) 8 x86 and Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 3.

The Sun Studio compiler now runs on the Solaris OS for x86 Platforms, both 32- and 64-bit processors, and the Solaris OS (SPARC Platform Edition). Features include:

• OpenMP 2.0 in C, C++ and Fortran (-xopenmp)
• Automatic parallelization (-xautopar)
• Thread-local storage in C and C++ (__thread)
• Interprocedural optimization (-xipo)
• Profile-feedback optimization (-xprofile)
• Loop dependence analysis and transforms (-xdepend
• Loop vectorization (-xvector)
• Restricted parameters (-xrestrict)
• Type-based alias analysis (-xalias_level)
• Memory prefetching (-xprefetch)
• Sun Performance LibraryTM (-xlic_lib=sunperf, -library=sunperf)
• Non-standard floating-point computation (-fns)

An integrated development environment (IDE), performance analysis tools and intuitive debugger for Linux is also provided. These components are compatible with GCC 3.2 software, however Sun is neither supplying nor providing support for the gcc compiler.
