What can the Metal C compiler do for your business
IBM® Enterprise Metal C for z/OS® exploits the latest z/Architecture®, including the latest IBM z14™ servers. It enables development of high-performing business applications and system programs on z/OS, while maximizing hardware use and improving application performance. Enterprise Metal C for z/OS delivers a high-level language alternative to writing programs in assembly and creates low-level, freestanding, and Language Environment independent applications with high performance. It strengthens the z/OS platform, leverages IBM optimization technology, and includes world-class IBM support.
Benefits
Reduced development costs
Reduces development costs by lowering dependencies on scarce High Level Assembler (HLASM) skills.
Increased return on investments
Improves application performance with leading-edge optimization technology and exploitation of the latest IBM Z® systems.
Improved productivity
Delivers a high-level language alternative to writing programs in HLASM. Developers don't need to manage the use of registers or manually tune assembler instruction sequences.
System programming capabilities
Allows using C syntax to develop system programs and low-level free-standing applications on z/OS that can use advanced optimization technology.
Language Environment independent
The generated optimized HLASM source code is Language Environment independent, and the C runtime is not required for execution. The resulting programs provides direct access to z/OS System Services.
Metal C compiler key features
- High-level language alternative to HLASM
- Language Environment independent
- Advanced optimization technology
- Exploitation of the latest z/Architecture
