The Intel® C++ Compiler allows your software to perform best on computers based on the Intel architecture. Using new compiler optimizations, such as profile-guided optimization, prefetch instruction and support for Streaming SIMD Extensions (SSE) and Streaming SIMD Extensions 2 (SSE2), the Intel C++ Compiler provides high performance.
