Absoft Corporation (www.absoft.com) is a leading developer of high-performance Fortran and C/C++ software development for high-performance computing on Mac OS X, Windows and Linux systems.
Absoft v.11 Fortran and C/C++
Compilers for Windows, Macintosh and Linux
Absoft Pro Fortran is the most complete Fortran solution available*
for Windows, Linux and Mac. Advanced compilers automate the building of parallel
code, include OpenMP support (v11 & above) and are compatible with system
tools. Absoft applications are consistently documented by independent parties
to be among the fastest in the industry, and Absoft is the only vendor to include
a development environment designed by Fortran developers for Fortran/C developers.
Better graphical debugging, application framework, optimized math libraries
and 2D/3D graphics mean there is nothing else to buy or learn. Same look, feel
and functionality on Windows, Linux or Mac. All Pro Fortran products include
premier technical support directly from Absoft, Quick Fixes and Service Packs.
Exclusive bundle options with third party products offer additional savings.
New Release: Absoft v.11 is now released. Notable improvements
in v11.0 include OpenMP support in compiler, runtime, Fx3 graphical debugger
and IDE (which also includes control features for MPICH). Combined with the
existing auto-parallel and vectorization, building parallel applications is
easier than ever -and Absoft still outperforms other compilers *by up to 40%*
on AMD processor. New scheduler and i7 tuning also increases performance. Absoft
code is faster code!
A more complete list of new features for the Windows version is listed below.
Linux and Mac versions are identical except for Windows specific issues.
Absoft v.11 - The best combined performance, reliability, and
portability available
New Features in Absoft
v.11 for Windows
Absoft & IMSL Bundle: IMSL v6 Fortran Numerical
Libraries + Absoft v.11 Fortran Compiler. Now available at a special bundle
price for a limited periode of time. Available both as new license and
as upgrade. Please contact
us for pricing information and platform availability.
Compiler:
Support for Windows 2000, Windows XP, Windows Vista , and Windows System
7 operating systems and Windows HPC 2008.
Link compatible with Microsoft C/C++
The Fortran 95 compiler fully implements TR 15581, which extends the Fortran
95 standard in three areas: allocatable arrays as dummy arguments, allocatable
arrays as function results, and allocatable arrays in derived types.
The Fortran 95 compiler implements OpenMP 2.5, providing a standard set
of compiler directives and runtime support for multi-threaded programming.
Improved instruction scheduling algorithms and code generation for the
latest Intel processors
Improved auto-parallelization (-apo) code generation.
Libraries:
Prebuilt 32 and 64 bit LAPACK 3.2.1 and Reference BLAS libraries.
Prebuilt 32 and 64 bit ScaLAPACK and BLACS libraries for MPI applications.
Prebuilt 32 and 64 bit NetCDF libraries.
Support for IMSL version 6.0 (available soon) with OpenMP and MPI capabilities.
Source code examples for auto-parallelization and OpenMP programming.
IDE:
Enhanced program element browsing capabilities.
New Forward/Back source position navigation.
Supports building and launching OpenMP.
Supports building and launching MPI programs.
Set environment variables before running a compiled project.
Automatically checks for service packs to keep your installation current.
Fx3 Debugger:
Includes support for debugging OpenMP multi-threaded programs.
Displays variable values inside pop-up windows by selecting their name
in the source code window.
Set environment variables for the debugged program.
Run a script of debugger commands on program launch.
Debug compatible with Microsoft C
Absoft
Pro Fortran is the most complete tool suite available for Linux workstations
and HPC applications.* Absoft compilers automate optimization, parallelization
and vectorization of code for multi-core AMD and Intel systems. v11 &
above includes OpenMP support. Absoft code has been independently verified
as among the fastest available. Pro Fortran also simplifies development
with the only commercial IDE designed by Fortran experts for Fortran/C.
Fx3 graphical debugger, optimized math libraries and 2D/3D graphics also
included. Link and debug compatible with gnu c, which is supported as
a plug-in for mixed Fortran/C development. IMSL's highly optimized numerical
and statistical libraries (1000+ routines) are a low cost bundle option.
