When members join the SGI® Global Developer Program at the Developer Plus level, they receive a free, five-user floating-license IRIX Development Tools and Compiler Bundle, valued at a list price of $20,000.
This special development software bundle contains:
IRIX Development Foundation and Libraries
Libraries and utilities a developer needs to do basic software development on IRIX:
- IRIX Development Foundation 6.5 contains libraries, header files, a linker, assembler,
and other common tools necessary for hosting software development. It does not contain a C compiler.
- IRIX Development Libraries 6.5 contains additional libraries and documentation useful
for creating graphics, multimedia, and user-interface components of your program. Scientific
and math libraries are included as well as OpenGL® and the popular IRIS ViewKit user-interface library.
MIPSpro Family of Compilers
The MIPSpro compilers represent the latest technology of optimizing and parallelizing
compilers from SGI. They take advantage of all of the performance-oriented features
in the latest MIPS® microprocessors, such as high-speed calling conventions and 32-bit
and 64-bit floating-point and general-purpose registers.
ProDev WorkShop
SGI® ProDev WorkShop is a comprehensive programming environment offering an integrated set of powerful and highly visual tools for creating, debugging, and tuning software:
Open Inventor
Open Inventor is an object-oriented toolkit for developing interactive, 3D graphics
applications. It also defines a standard file format for exchanging 3D data among
applications.
Scientific Computing Software Library (SCSL)
The SCSL library is a comprehensive and state-of-the art collection of scientific and
mathematical functions that have been optimized for use on SGI® systems, whether based
on the IRIX operating system and MIPS processors or the Linux® operating system and
Intel® Itanium® 2 processors. SCSL greatly improves the performance and efficiency
of applications through the use of blocked, multithreaded, and optimized subroutines.
For upgrades and/or support for the IRIX Development Tools and Compiler Bundle,
Developer Plus members need to purchase a SGI software support contract. Contact the nearest support office. These SGI development products
may also be purchased by contacting your local sales office or calling SGI at
