Software Development Tools for Intel® Itanium® processors

Intel® Software Development Products for Intel® Itanium® Processors Intel® Compilers & Libraries for Intel® Itanium® Processor provide advanced development capabilities that deliver outstanding application performance.

This page provides a path to get the Intel compilers and libraries needed to develop optimized applications that run on Intel® Itanium® Processor based systems. There are two products available, depending on the programming language. Intel® C++ Composer 11.1 for Linux includes the Intel C/C++ compiler 11.1 along with Intel® Math Kernel Library (Intel® MKL), Intel® Integrated Performance Primitives (Intel IPP), Intel® Threading Building Blocks (Intel® TBB). Intel® Fortran Composer 11.1 for Linux includes the Intel Fortran compiler 11.1 along with Intel® Math Kernel Library (Intel® MKL). Request information to get Intel compilers & libraries for Intel® Itanium® Processors >> Common to both Intel C++ and Intel Fortran compilers: Both compilers deliver outstanding application performance and are compatible with the gnu tool chain. High Performance Parallel Optimizer (HPO), delivers vectorization, parallelization, and loop transformations. Automatic Vectorizer analyzes loops and determines when it is safe and effective to execute loop iterations in parallel. Interprocedural Optimization (IPO) dramatically improves performance of frequently-used functions. Profile-Guided Optimization (PGO) improves application performance by reducing instruction-cache thrashing, reorganizing code layout, shrinking code size, and reducing branch mispredictions. OpenMP 3.0 support raises the abstraction away from the API, simplifying threading and making code more portable. Parallel Lint for OpenMP performs static analysis to check for parallelization correctness. Helps diagnose deadlocks, data races or potential data dependency and side effects from synchronization issues. Intel C++ Compiler Exception handling uses existing build-options to product better-optimized code leading to improved application performance. IEEE 754R Standard implementation overcomes otherwise unavoidable precision issues implied by binary FP formats. Great for banking, accounting, billing, and e-commerce. Intel Fortran Compiler More Fortran 2003 support including object-oriented features such as CLASS declaration, SELECT TYPE constant, inheritance association and more. Other additions support deferred-length character entities, PUBLIC types with PRIVATE components (and vice versa), ENUMERATOR, IEEE Floating Point Exception Handling, ALLOCATE extensions, array constructor changes and more to bring your Fortran apps closer to the standard. These join C interoperability features introduced in the last release to make it easier to develop mixed-language applications.
