#3The linked article's headline,
>ARM extends HPC offering with acquisition of software tools provider Allinea Software
is not editorialized at all. OP, are you a marketing person for ARM?

Well, what else would they spend the coin for? So they could have bigger pizza parties?
Also compare word count.

#6Reminds me a lot of Nvidia buying Portland Group, although that was probably a better match. I don't really see this making much difference - what AMD needs in HPC is tooling for their GPU/APU that covers a wide range of usecases, is stable and performant. Publications and then sales pretty much follow automatically, but IMO so far the tooling was the missing element. E.g. where's my Fortran API for OpenCL and Nvidia? How do I debug and profile this? What about device memory aware MPI wrappers? BLAS on device? Etc.
Allinea AFAIK only helps with the debugging/profiling part - but first you need a sensible programming model.

This is about ARM, not AMD.

#8Can someone tell me what Allinea does? What does providing software for HPC mean?

Dangit, so much news about AMD lately ;). Funnily enough my comment still applies (I think).
