- GCC/UPC 4.0 Flexible Heap Design Overview, Sep 5, 2006 [1]
The GCC/UPC 4.0 runtime implements a facility known as a “flexible heap”. The flexible heap facility removes the need for the user to specify the maximum
amount of memory required for allocation from the UPC language defined heap
facility. - GCC/UPC 4.2.3.3 Benchmarks report, May 30, 2008
[2]The GCC UPC 4.2.3 compiler was benchmarked in two areas: 1) Best compiler optimization options: The open-source project ACOVEA was used to find the best compiler options for a certain number of code samples, 2) Optimal UPC compiler and run-time options: A set of micro benchmarks were integrated into a test suite that compares execution time for various compiler/run-time configuration.
