From the Wall Street Journal:

"IBM Research and European Union Provide Software Developers with Performance Gains and Faster Time-To-Market."

The "world's first intelligent Open Source compiler provides automated advice on software code optimization". Initial IBM experiments conducted on IBM System p servers achieved an average 18 percent performance improvement on embedded-application benchmarks. Congratulations to Mike O'Boyle and the MILEPOST team!
