Why Use the Intel® Compilers?
The Intel® compilers give application developers access to the advanced
architecture of the latest Intel processors for both IA-32 and the Itanium®
architecture. These compilers have several features to maximize application
performance:
- Performance: Advanced optimization features for latest Intel®
processors, including the Intel® Pentium 4, Intel® Xeon™,
as well as the new Intel® Pentium M processor based on Intel®
Centrino™ mobile technology, and Intel® Itanium® 2 processors,
to deliver outstanding performance for your applications. The Intel
compilers also provide threaded application development and optimization
through its support of the OpenMP* 2.0 standard and Auto-Parallelism
feature.
- Compatibility: The Intel compilers support both official and
de-facto standards.
- Support: Intel Premier Support via the Intel web site: www.intel.com.
Make sure you register for support!
In addition, to analyze your multi-threaded code with the Intel®
Thread Checker or the Thread Profiler:
- The Intel Thread Checker requires that the Intel C++ or Fortran compiler
be previously installed on your system.
- The Thread Profiler requires you to to use the Intel® C++ or Fortran
Compiler to generate instrumented files.
