A new XL C/C++ compiler is delivered to support application development on the IBM POWER8 servers that run the little endian Linux distributions.
A key strength of XL C/C++ for Linux is its ability to generate highly optimized code for execution on IBM Power Systems. The performance gain from years of IBM compiler optimization experience on XL C/C++ for Linux can be seen in the release-to-release compiler improvements from the development of the IBM POWER4 processors through to the IBM POWER5, IBM POWER5+, IBM POWER6, IBM POWER6+, IBM POWER7, IBM POWER7+, and IBM POWER8 processors. With XL C/C++ for Linux, V13.1.1, compiler support on the Linux distributions, such as Ubuntu 14.04 for IBM POWER8, Ubuntu 14.10 for IBM POWER8 and SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 12 (SLES 12) for Power, includes exploitation of the little endian architecture on the latest IBM Power Systems that are built with the POWER8 architecture and processor.
With the new XL C/C++ compiler, you can create and port applications for execution on the next generation of IBM systems supporting little endian architectures and built on POWER8 technology designed to handle big data and to drive modern workloads for cloud, mobile, and social.
