The variety of optimizations used by the Intel® Fortran Compiler enable you to enhance the performance of your application. Each optimization is performed by a set of options discussed in each section dedicated to the following optimizations:
Optimizing compilation process
Optimizing different types of applications
Floating-point arithmetic operations
Optimizing applications for specific processors
Interprocedural optimizations (IPO)
Profile-guided optimizations
High-level Language optimizations
In addition to optimizations invoked by the compiler command-line options, the compiler includes features which enhance your application performance such as directives, intrinsics, run-time library routines and various utilities. These features are discussed in the Optimization Support Features section.
