Tilera's Multicore Development Environment™

Tilera's Multicore Development Environment™ (MDE) is a complete, standards-based multicore programming solution that enables developers to take full advantage of the parallel-processing potential of the Tile Processor™ architecture. Older multicore models required all programming operations be done in a core-by-core fashion, making it impossible to program, debug, or profile more than a handful of cores efficiently. With Tilera's MDE suite, developers can move to larger and more complex multicore applications using it's advanced collective views and profiling technologies..

The MDE programming suite reflects a mix of the best of current tools and technology together with next-generation solutions designed for the large-scale multicore world. MDE's familiar development environment helps developers get their applications to market quickly, while the new tools help them take full advantage of the technology Tilera offers.
