This new product is a combination of the ACE EXPERT Transputer Compiler Family and the PACT Parallel C Compiler System for the transputer. Integrated these constitute a stand-alone and complete set of tools for developing applications on the T400, T800 and T9000 trans- puters. The EXPERT Parallel Development System consists of front- ends for the languages Parallel C, K&R C, ANSI-C, For- tran-77, Pascal and Modula-2; a global optimizer, codegener- ators for T400/T800 and T9000, source level debugging, full library support including virtual channel communication and a BCS compliant self-contained runtime system. It also pro- vides a converter for TCOFF to the BCS compliant COFF stan- dard, allowing OCCAM modules and libraries to be easily linked in. The EXPERT Parallel Development System aims at the real-time and embedded transputer market. It is available as a cross development system and supports all existing transputer hardware. ACE as a Company: Since its foundation in 1975, ACE has notched up a remark- able string of achievements, such as being the first Euro- pean company to supply its own multi-processor UNIX kernel as a commercial product and developing the first Fortran-77 compiler for the MC68K to receive official validation. PACT as a Company: PACT, founded in 1987 and based in Delft, The Netherlands, is known for its PACT Parallel C Compiler System. This com- piler adds parallel language extensions to ANSI Standard C. With five years of parallel processing experience, the qual- ity of the Transputer BCS compliant PACT runtime system is guaranteed.
