Oracle Uses Intel's 64-Bit Software Tools, Platforms To Make Latest Database Fly
Intel Corporation today has announced that Oracle Corporation developed and optimized its latest database, Oracle Database 10g Release 2, on Intel's latest Intel Xeon processor with Intel Extended Memory 64 Technology using Intel software development tools.
Oracle used the IntelŪ C++ and Fortran Compilers 8.1 for Windows and Linux, and IntelŪ VTune™ Performance Analyzer for Windows and Linux to develop and optimize Oracle Database 10g Release 2. Oracle also plans to use Intel software tools to develop and optimize the performance of future database products running on Intel platforms, including IntelŪ Xeon™ with IntelŪ Extended Memory 64 Technology, and IntelŪ ItaniumŪ 2 processor-based systems.
A compiler translates a high-level programming language, such as C++ or FORTRAN, into machine language the processor can understand. The Intel VTune Performance Analyzer looks at existing applications and suggests ways to further enhance application performance. Using an efficient compiler and powerful performance analyzer is important for helping software run at top speeds.
