Intel Fortran Compiler 11.0 for Mac
Introduction
The Intel Fortran Compiler for Mac OS deliver mature compiler technology for the new Mac hardware based on Intel processors featuring multi-core technology.
The new generation of Mac hardware based on Intel processors unleashes the Intel Core Duo and Intel Core Solo microarchitectures in the Mac environment.
The Intel Fortran Compiler for Mac OS provide a fast and easy way to increase performance for compute-intensive applications.
The Intel Fortran Compilers for Mac OS demonstrate Intel's commitment to Macintosh developers. State-of-the-art features and usability take full advantage of next-generation Mac hardware:
- Performance wins from highly optimised, threaded code for Mac computers with dual-core Intel processors.
- Compatibility with popular development tools and environments including Xcode, the popular Apple IDE.
- World-class support, free product updates, and extensive technical documentation.
Performance across Application Domains
The Intel Fortran Compiler for Mac OS delivers exceptional performance, usability, and business advantages to a wide variety of software markets.
- Scientific, research, and related applications benefit from fast compile times, high-performance execution, and solid technical support. Numerically intensive software can make excellent use of the new Intel processor-based Macs.
- Mobilised software benefits tremendously from the ability of mobile multi- core platforms, such as those based on the Intel Core Duo processor to increase performance while also protecting battery life with low power consumption.
- Numerically intensive design and simulation applications benefit from dramatic performance optimisations using the Intel Compilers to decrease latency and rendering times, while also allowing software architects to add additional features without unacceptable impacts to performance.
Standards Compliance
The Intel Fortran Compiler, Standard and Professional Editions, for Mac OS is substantially standards compliant, including support for the following:
- Fortran 95
- Fortran 90
- Fortran 77
- Fortran 66 (FORTRAN IV)
- Selected new features from Fortran 2003
Every purchase of an Intel Software Development Product includes a year of support services, which provides access to Intel Premier Support and all product releases during that time. Intel Premier Support gives you online access to Intel's expert engineering support staff, technical notes, application notes, and documentation.
