New Absoft Fortran 95 compiler for 64-bit Linux
10 January, 2006
Top-performing Fortran compiler for Intel EM64T-Xeon and AMD Opteron systems with state-of-the-art code generation and optimisation technology, solid reliability, and the industry's most complete list of tools and libraries is now available from Hearne Scientific Software.
The combination of state-of-the-art code generation and optimisation technology with solid reliability and the industry's most complete list of tools and libraries allows productivity gains while merely requiring recompilation of existing source code with no rewriting or reprogramming.
Absoft's Fortran 95 Compiler for Linux v10.0 is unrivaled in both ease of use and its comprehensive list of features and typically generates code that performs as fast or faster than any other Fortran compiler. Absoft compilers conform to all DoD MIL-STD 1753, FIPS 69-1, and POSIX standards, support most popular VAX/VMS extensions including RECORD, STRUCTURE, POINTER, and UNION, (per V5.4 of VMS FORTRAN), QUAD data types as well as others from IBM/VS, Cray, Sun FORTRAN and FORTRAN 66 conventions. PIC code, automatic byte swapping, full integration with GNU tools and LSB compliance means porting code from any environment with Absoft requires little more than a recompilation.
Key Features
- Industry leading performance and optimisations.
- Superior reliability, compatibility, portability, support, pricing, and licensing options.

- Multi-processing options including automatic parallelization and OpenMP tools.
The Absoft Fortran 95 v10.0 Compiler for 64-bit Linux also comes with several advanced features from the latest Fortran 2003 language specification which include:
- Allocatable attributes for derived type components.
- IEEE floating point exception handling.
- Pointers with INTENT attributes.
- PROTECTED attributes.
- VALUE attributes.
- VOLATILE attributes.
- Support for extended 63 character names.
License Options
Introductory version: Includes the full Fortran 95 v10.0 for 64-bit Linux compiler, VAX/UNIX compatibility libraries, and command line debugger. Designed for cost sensitive, short term, or academic projects, the introductory version is a 12-month license.
Professional version: The Professional version includes all components of the Introductory version (compiler, VAX/UNIX libraries, and debugger), and also includes the Absoft C/C++ compiler. The Professional version is a perpetual license.
Absoft Fortran 95 Compiler for Linux version 10 typically generates code that performs as fast or faster than any other Fortran compiler while maintaining full source compatibility.
