Sieve C++ Parallel Programming System

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Sieve C++ Parallel Programming System is a C++ compiler designed and released by Codeplay that aims to simplify the parallelization of code so that it may run efficiently on multi-processor or multi-core systems.

Sieve is is a C++ compiler that will take a section of code (marked with sieve markers) and parallelize it automatically.

The compiler will put out code for x86, Ageia PhysX and Cell/PS3.
