Diab Data Inc. announces highly optimizing ColdFire Compiler Suites.(NYSE NYSE See: New York Stock Exchange :MOT) High Performance Embedded Systems Embedded systems Computer systems that cannot be programmed by the user because they are preprogrammed for a specific task and are buried within the equipment they serve. Division and Diab Data Inc. Tuesday announced the immediate availability of Diab Data's Compiler Suites for embedded ColdFire applications. Diab Data's highly optimizing Compiler A programming language compiler that enhances the performance and/or reduces the size of the resulting machine program. Optimizing compilers require multiple passes in order to analyze the entire program and maximize the reuse of code throughout. See compiler. Suites are available from both Motorola and Diab Data in multiple versions supporting a broad range of host, target and language combinations. Diab Data's ColdFire C, C++ and Fortran Compiler Noun 1. Fortran compiler - a compiler for programs written in FORTRAN compiling program, compiler - (computer science) a program that decodes instructions written in a higher order language and produces an assembly language program Suites draw on more than 50 optimization techniques and are tuned for the specific characteristics of embedded environments. Multiple versions are available for the PC, SPARCstations, R/S R/S Remote Sensing R/S Rally Sport R/S Respectfully Submit R/S Report of Survey R/S Route Sheet R/S Reentry System R/S Revision Segment R/S Rationalization & Standardization R/S Regulatory or Safety (automotive requirements) 6000, PowerStack and HP 700 workstations. The new ColdFire Compiler Suites are integrated with a variety of development environments, including Software Development Systems' SingleStep and Wind River Systems' VxWorks. ``Our early commitment to Motorola's ColdFire Family enabled Diab Data to be a leader in the market for ColdFire compiler suites,'' said J.C. Sarner, vice president of sales and marketing at Diab Data. ``We are excited about the opportunity to support the ColdFire Family and its emerging applications, and to partner with Motorola in providing advanced compiler technology with the Motorola ColdFire Starter Kit,'' Sarner added. ``Once again Diab Data has shown its leadership in the compiler market by being the first to announce available support for our ColdFire Family,'' said Jim Reinhart, manager of marketing and systems engineering for the Motorola High Performance Embedded Systems Division. The new Compiler Suites include a compiler, a program profiler, an assembler, a linker and an archiver, as well as ANSI (American National Standards Institute, New York, www.ansi.org) A membership organization founded in 1918 that coordinates the development of U.S. voluntary national standards in both the private and public sectors. It is the U.S. member body to ISO and IEC. compliant libraries, a program checker and other utilities. Optimizations specific to the MCF5200 Family include code reordering re·or·der v. re·or·dered, re·or·der·ing, re·or·ders v.tr. 1. To order (the same goods) again. 2.

In addition, a software floating point library is included for fast execution of floating point calculations. With the Diab Data ColdFire Compiler Suites, programmers have complete control over the allocation of code and data in memory, as well as the ability to mix assembler 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 ++ functions. The ColdFire Compiler Suites are available immediately. Single-user licenses start at $1,900. Diab Data has been breaking new ground in CSIC (Customer Specific Integrated Circuit) Pronounced "c-sick." Another term for ASIC, which was coined by Motorola. Some feel this is a more accurate description of an ASIC chip. See ASIC. and RISC RISC in full Reduced Instruction Set Computing Computer architecture that uses a limited number of instructions. RISC became popular in microprocessors in the 1980s. compiler technology since 1986, and is a Platinum member of Motorola's Embedded Developer Program.
