PICTools Architecture
  • Includes a shared library that loads operation specific libraries called opcodes for modular, discrete functionality
  • Modular opcode design allows application developers to deploy only the opcode needed for the desired imaging functionality
  • Supports rapid portability and processor-specific speed optimizations on additional platforms (contact us to discuss porting PICTools to your platform)
  • PICTools is licensed per opcode used. See a detailed list of PICTools Medical Opcodes
Multi-Platform Support
  • Achieves maximum code speed through algorithm and machine code optimizations
  • Optimized for several chip instruction sets, including Intel MMX, PIII, PIV, and IBM PowerPC
  • The underlying architecture of PICTools allows desired imaging functionality to be efficiently ported to any requested operating system with common interface and operating convention.
  • Delivers support across multiple environments including:
  • 32-bit & 64-bit Microsoft Windows
  • 32-bit & 64-bit Solaris SPARC
  • 32-bit & 64-bit Solaris x86
  • 32-bit & 64-bit Linux
  • 32-bit & 64-bit AIX
  • MAC OS X
