PGI 7.1 COMPILERS AND TOOLS

PGI 7.1 Fortran, C and C++ compilers deliver world-class performance and a uniform development environment across Linux and Windows as part of an integrated suite of multi-core capable software development tools. Now, PGI compilers can generate a single PGI Unified Binary executable fully optimized for both Intel EM64T and AMD64 processors, delivering all the benefits of a single x64 platform while enabling you to leverage the latest innovations from both Intel and AMD. See how the PGI Unified Binary benefits compute-intensive applications like the Parallel Ocean Program (POP) at http://www.pgroup.com/resources/unified_binary.htm.

PGI 7.1 includes many features and enhancements from PGI 6.1:

· Uniform command-level and GUI parallel debugger/profiler development environment across 32-bit and 64-bit systems based on either Intel or AMD processors running Linux, Win64 or Win32

· Enhanced auto-parallelization for multi-core processors

· Enhanced PGI Unified Binary, with performance on SPEC CPU 2000, SPEC CPU 2006 and Polyhedron that is within 1% of native binary speeds on average

· Microsoft Compute Cluster Server 2003 interoperability

· Support for Intel MMX and SSE1/SSE2/SSE3 intrinsics

· Comprehensive extended asm support on Linux

· Additional hand-tuned math intrinsics

· Incremental SSE vectorization enhancements

· C/C++ integer performance enhancements

· Full support for SUSE 10.1, SLES 10 and RedHat Fedora Core 5

· PGI CDK MPICH2 support

· Full support for PGI Workstation on Win32
