Parallel C comes to the Sharc 3L Parallel C is available for the Sharc DSP from Analog Devices (Norwood, MA). Parallel C adds two components to Analog Devices` standard compiler tools: a distributed real-time microkernel that supports tasks, threads, timers, and pre-emptive priority scheduling and an interprocessor message-switching software that provides end-to-end virtual connections over an underlying packet-switched network. An improved linker technology eliminates the need for application programmers to manually allocate memory addresses for program sections and full support for ANSI C functions. 3L Ltd., 86/92 Causewayside, Edinburgh EH9 1PY, Scotland; 131 662-4333; Fax: 131 662-4556.
