New Viper technology in TASKING M16C toolset enables significant increases in code efficiency; Benchmarking shows execution speeds up 40% and code size down 15%
SYDNEY, Australia—(BUSINESS WIRE)—June 1, 2004—
Altium Limited (ASX:ALU), a leading developer of
Windows-based electronics design software, today released version 3.0
of its TASKING M16C software development toolset that has been
enhanced with next-generation Viper compiler technology. A wide
variety of real-life applications and benchmarks have shown that this
version of the toolset enables significant increases in code
efficiency, with increases in execution speed of up to 40% and code
size decreases of 15% compared to using the previous TASKING M16C
toolset. The new version of the toolset excels in performance of
generated code and compliance with industry standards.
"Altium has already proved to be a powerful tool partner with its
TASKING M16C compiler chain," said David Noverraz, Product Manager,
Support tools, Renesas Technology Europe. "However, the version 3.0
release represents a huge step forward in terms of the performance of
generated code and I expect it to have a significant impact on
increasing application speed and decreasing development time for M16C
applications."
