Dyalog 14.1 is now commercially available

One of our most important goals is to ensure that Dyalog APL is available on all relevant platforms. With Version 14.1, we are very pleased to include Apple Mac OS X as a fully supported platform, along with Microsoft Windows, Linux (Intel and ARM) and IBM AIX.

We consider the Mac version, which is the first platform to use our new HTML/JavaScript based IDE (the RIDE) as the primary development environment, to be a major milestone in our Roadmap and in our continuing efforts to make Dyalog APL available to all software developers and domain experts, no matter which platform they are working on.

In addition to portability, 14.1 is heavily focused on performance enhancements. Dyalog 14.1 comes with speeds-ups to several primitive functions and operators. Our optimised bytecode execution engine, introduced with version 14.0, now supports selected control structures and references to global variables and functions; as a result, customers will experience a factor of two performance increase for many functions, especially when applied to small data structures.

Morten Kromberg said, "Our efforts are also heavily focused on the parallel computing capabilities that Dyalog offers. Our aim is to put parallel hardware at the fingertips of domain experts and software engineers alike. The futures and isolates mechanisms, which we introduced in version 14.0, have been enhanced to make it even easier to take advantage of multiple processors in a desktop or laptop, and/or distribute processing across the entire network of computers".
