Absoft(R) Announces New Software Development Solutions with Intel(R) Tools for Apple Computers using Intel(R) Processors.SAN FRANCISCO San Francisco (săn frănsĭs`kō), city (1990 pop. 723,959), coextensive with San Francisco co., W Calif., on the tip of a peninsula between the Pacific Ocean and San Francisco Bay, which are connected by the strait known as the Golden -- New Bundles Combine the Best Intel(R) and Absoft(R) Tools for Software Developers Giving Superior Performance, Price, Reliability, and Support on New Apple Computers Today at Apple's MacWorld Conference, Absoft Corporation announced plans to offer software development solutions designed for Apple's new Intel-based computers. The new software development solutions extend Absoft's existing product line for PowerPC-based systems from Apple. The new developer solutions include tools from Intel and Absoft optimized specifically for Apple computers using Intel(R) processors including the new iMac and MacBook Pro See MacBook. computers using Intel(R) Core(TM) Duo processors. The new solutions will combine best-of-breed compilers, debuggers, and libraries from Intel, Absoft, and third party manufacturers to provide scientists, engineers, educators, and students with the best possible development tools on Apple computers using Intel(R) processors. This will give Apple software developers the best choices for developing and porting software applications written in Fortran and C/C C/C Center to Center C/C Combustion Chamber C/C Command/Control C/C Crew Chief C/C cabin cruiser (US DoD) C/C chief complaint (medical) C/C Channel-to-Channel C/C Communication and Collaboration ++. These tools will be bundled into different configurations depending on customers' exact needs: Intel components: Fortran, C/C++ Compilers, Math Kernel Library, Integrated Performance Primitives Overview Intel's Integrated Performance Library (Intel IPP) is a library of multi-core-ready, optimized software functions for multimedia and data processing applications, produced by Intel. . Absoft components: Fortran, C/C++ Compilers, Fx2 Fortran/C/C++ Debugger Software that helps a programmer debug a program by stopping at certain breakpoints and displaying various programming elements. The programmer can step through source code statements one at a time while the corresponding machine instructions are being executed. , Modules Environment, Integrated Development Environment See IDE. integrated development environment - interactive development environment , Common License Manager, Spotlight plug-in for Fortran, and Fortran examples and benchmarks. Software Development Kits (SDKs) for high-performance computing High-speed computing, which typically refers to supercomputers used in scientific research. (HPC (Handheld PC) A palmtop computer that weighs less than one pound and runs specialized versions of popular applications. Microsoft coined the term for its Windows CE operating system, which is an abbreviated version of Windows. See Pocket PC. ) environments will also be offered containing the top-performing Intel and Absoft components together with numerous third party products also to be announced To be announced (TBA) A contract for the purchase or sale of an MBS to be delivered at an agreed-upon future date but does not include a specified pool number and number of pools or precise amount to be delivered. soon. Many of the solutions will include increasingly popular tools such as Absoft's market leading Fx2 Debugger and the Absoft Modules Environment, which helps developers migrate their applications from other platforms, from 32-bit to 64-bit systems, or from single-core to multi-core applications. "Absoft continues to build on more than 20 years of serving developers on Apple computers and we are offering new compilers and debuggers designed for new Apple systems using Intel processors. These tools are fully compatible with our existing OS X/Power-PC based products allowing easy migration between platforms," said Wood Lotz, Absoft chief executive officer. "We have also partnered with Intel to combine their best development tools with ours. Combined Absoft/Intel solutions help customers build, debug To correct a problem in hardware or software. Debugging software means locating the errors in the source code (the program logic). Debugging hardware means finding errors in the circuit design (logical circuits) or in the physical interconnections of the circuits. , and tune quality applications for maximum performance. Our focus is on providing the very best solutions possible to Apple customers using Intel(R) processors including the new Intel(R) Core Duo Intel's first dual-core chip for Centrino laptops. Introduced in early 2006, the Core Duo CPU was also the first x86 chip used in the Macintosh, as Apple transitioned from the PowerPC to the x86 CPU family (see MacBook Pro). ; that focus allows us to identify the very best products and combine them into bundles that give customers the best price/performance possible on the exciting new computers from Apple using Intel processors." "Offering the Intel compilers with the Absoft Fx2 Debugger provides added value Added value in financial analysis of shares is to be distinguished from value added. Used as a measure of shareholder value, calculated using the formula:
