Cray Acquires SiCortex Assets

Gregory T. Huang8/31/09

Seattle-based Cray (NASDAQ: CRAY), the supercomputing company, announced late last week it has acquired the PathScale Compiler Suite assets from Maynard, MA-based SiCortex. Financial details were not released. SiCortex shut down in May. The purchase could help Cray improve its own compiler technology, as well as give PathScale customers a way to move forward on Cray supercomputers.
