GCC UPC

The GCC UPC toolset is a compilation and execution environment designed specifically for programs written in UPC (Unified Parallel C). The toolset is implemented as an extension of the popular GNU GCC compiler, providing users with a powerful and comprehensive development experience. Similar to the GNU Objective C compiler, the GCC UPC compiler functions as a C Language dialect translator.

Currently, the GCC UPC toolset is available on a range of platforms, including Intel ia64 (Itanium) Linux uniprocessor and symmetric multiprocessor systems, AMD amd64 Linux uniprocessor and symmetric multiprocessor systems, and Intel x86 Linux uniprocessor and symmetric multiprocessor systems. Additionally, the toolset is compatible with SGI IRIX (release 6.5 or higher), mips2 32-bit ABI, and mips4 64-bit ABI, as well as with Cray T3E Alpha processor based systems and Cray XT3 Catamount AMD Opteron based systems.

For those looking to leverage the power of the GCC UPC toolset in conjunction with the Berkeley UPC Berkeley UPC runtime, the toolset is also available as a front-end. With its broad platform support and focus on improving the development experience for programmers working with the UPC language, the GCC UPC toolset is a valuable asset for anyone seeking to improve their parallel programming skills.
