Re: CC compiler and dual core processor

Hmmm. Not really what I was talking about. DEC's FORTRAN compiler took
_existing_ code and parallelized it without any changes. Run the code
on a Cray or IBM Mainframe and it ran as a monolithic job. Compile and
link it with the parallelizing compiler and various parts were running
on multiple processors simultaneously.

Someone mentioned the latest version of gcc did that now. True?

Sun studio does that. For gcc, you need to wait for 4.3 before you get
some automatic parallelization features. (4.2 has support for openMP)
