    GCC To Receive Automatic Parallelization Support

    Phoronix: GCC To Receive Automatic Parallelization Support

    IBM's Razya Ladelsky today outlined plans for providing automatic parallelization support within the GNU Compiler Collection. The Graphite Framework, which provides high-level loop optimizations based upon the polyhedral model, was merged for the forthcoming release of GCC 4.4 and it will be used eventually to provide some level of automatic parallelization support...

    What kind of time frame are we talking before my favorite distro can be compiled from the ground up with this enabled? I want this yesterday!

      Hey ! I'm not sure about it, but it seems like it will be the first compiler to support this killer-feature !

      Am I wrong ?

              Haha, you wish! No, they simply rebuild.

              PS:
              No wait, they don't. Switching CPU is usually done to UPGRADE it. Future CPUs are always compatible with older ones. Only downgrading can require a rebuild.

                i would imagine they first open their tower, take out any pci cards etc, then disconnect cables, then loosen the screws, take the board out, replaces the backpanel, and then put the new stuff in and connect etc...
