Come on guys, after the hints Michael gave us, it isn't that hard to guess which company and what software is behind "Dirndl":
- Intel is very open-source friendly.
- Their full compiler suite costs about $1300.
- The Intel Math-library is known to bring a huge performance boost on multi-core CPUs and multi-threaded programs.

Contrary to some reader thoughts, this is not an open-source announcement from Intel.

So this is obviously nothing comming from intel. After all Intel Math libs and their Compiler suite produces much less performance increase on AMD platforms.

It will matter mostly for servers and computing workstations.
Oh and btw - @Michael, if you have this dual quad-core opteron system, would you be that nice and check out if this new magic can speed up some mesa software rasterization on cpu's? Maybe it's a bit silly to do this but it would do a nice proof of concept if this can be used for accelerating some system specific tasks.
