The companys technology is aimed at easing the development of systems based on parallel processors and SIMD support hardware.

Under the so-called sieve system parts of the program are marked off with the "sieve" marker and inside these sieve blocks it is simple and safe for the compiler to perform automatic parallelization. The compiler can then provide feedback to the programmer about how the software could be changed to improve parallelism.

The sieve system can be used with processors that have non-uniform memory architectures and use DMA, the company said. It can also work with non-uniform data structures as well as the more common streaming applications.
