The GNU Compiler Collection (GCC) is one of the most critical components of the software development ecosystem. Organizations have invested heavily to generate GCC code generation and reliability improvements for various platforms. Without investment in the GCC project, organizations are unable to effectively leverage today's architectures.

This white paper discusses contributions to the GCC project that enable the GCC software development community to best leverage today's architectures. Learn how to evaluate instruction set proposals and future-proof current software productions. Explore the new features available in GCC 4.3.0 which can be leveled for optimal execution on processor-based platforms.
