BayLibre has been a key player in the field of Open Source, particularly in embedded systems, for over a decade. Since our founding, we have actively participated in technical conferences around the world where we regularly deliver insightful technical presentations.
In January 2024, we launched a new Compiler Services business unit, further expanding our commitment to the Open Source ecosystem. This new group specializes in toolchains, particularly GCC, and is staffed by renowned technical experts. BayLibre engineers hold maintainer roles for GCC and contribute to its Fortran programming language support (gfortran), Nvidia and AMD GPU support as well as definition & implementation of the OpenMP/OpenACC programming language extensions.
In November 2024, we attended Supercomputing 2024 (SC24) in Atlanta, Georgia, USA, a conference dedicated to bringing the High-Performance Computing (HPC) industry and academia together.
During SC24, Thomas Schwinge of BayLibre delivered two well-received presentations on the current state of GCC’s support for OpenMP & OpenACC at their respective BoFs. These talks sparked engaging discussions with industry leaders, including representatives from AMD, HPE/Cray, Intel and Nvidia, along with prominent national laboratories focused on advancing the state-of-the-art for HPC.
We are proud of BayLibre’s successful debut at SC24, which has helped to announce our entry into the world of high-performance computing. Looking ahead, we remain dedicated to promoting and advancing Open Source solutions. By tackling cutting-edge technical challenges, we aim to contribute to a better, more innovative future.
