The production version of the Sun Studio 12 program development
suite is now available for download at no charge from
http://developers.sun.com/sunstudio.

The marketing note I received says:

What is Sun Studio? Previously known as the SunOS compilers,
SPARCworks, Sun Workshop, Forte Developer, and Sun ONE Studio,
Sun Studio 12 includes the following key components:

* Parallelizing C, C++, and Fortran compilers
* Next-generation IDE based on NetBeans 5.5.1
* Code-level debugger
* Memory debugger
* Performance profiler
* OpenMP support
* Optimized libraries, including Sun Performance Library
* Multithreading tools

It also lists the following enhancements:

* Brand new IDE
* Compilers for Linux (first ever!)
[ the first production versions of C, C++ and f95 for Linux from
Sun, anyway ]
* New multithreading/multicore tools, including the new Thread
Analyzer
* Outstanding Performance- up to 25% increase over Sun Studio 11
(& up to 80% over GCC 4.1)
* Improved GCC compatibility to ease adoption
