A high performance C/C++ compiler which offers the fastest possible gains.
BSEditor: Codeplays VectorC is a unique piece of compiler technology used for easy development of high-performance applications for Modern media processors. VectorC can be used for optimizing the performance of Windows or PlayStation2 software by up to 200%, or for developing portable high-performance software on advanced media processors like the PlayStation2 vector units. VectorC is a C/C++ compiler that can compile for machines that previously had no C/C++ compiler support.
VectorC supports the following advanced optimizations (as well as all the industry standard compiler optimizations):
Vectorization for converting standard C/C++
- code into super-fast SIMD vector code
- Software pipelining for transforming small loops into a high-performance pipelined loop
- Automatic memory prefetching for improving the performance of memory caches
- Vector memory access for compiling for vector processors, like the PlayStation?2 Vector Units
- Integration into common IDEs and debuggers
- Compatibility with common language extensions e.g. GCC
Language Features
- C/C++ compilation (inlcuding GCC, Microsoft and CodeWarrior extensions) for maximum compatability)
- Supports the new C++ standard (C++0x)
- Support of embedded C features (memory spaces etc)
- HLSL compilation for graphics and SHADeR code
- HLSL-like vector and Matrix extensions to the C/C++ language for writing vector and matrix operations (dot/cross products, determinants etc.) in and easy-to-read format. you can free download VectorC 2.3.3 now.
