Development Tools

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.

The MDE programming suite reflects a mix of the best of current open source tools and technology together with next-generation solutions designed for the large-scale manycore 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 manycore processors Tilera offers. With Tilera’s MDE suite, developers can move to larger and more complex manycore applications using its advanced collective views and profiling technologies.
