Absoft Pro for Mac OS Intel

Absoft Pro Fortran for Mac OS
on Intel®

64-bit Fortran for Mac OS/Intel
Includes full 32/64-bit Development Suite

Absoft Dramatically Improves Fortran Debugging on Mac OS with Fx3 and Apple's Xcode
Absoft's Fx3 debugger adds capabilities so customers can display & modify variables in COMMON blocks,
allocated in static storage, or declared inside Fortran 90 modules.

NEW! Pro Fortran v11 includes 20 significant improvements including integrated OpenMP support. Not only does v11.0 provide OpenMP support in the compiler and runtime, but the upgraded Absoft Fx3 graphical debugger supports debugging multi-threaded OpenMP Fortran sessions, and the IDE adds new features which allow you to control the OpenMP environment. Combined with Absof'ts superior code generation, Pro Fortran provides the easiest and most complete solution for building multi-threaded OpenMP applications.

Create and vectorize multi-threaded applications automatically! Absoft Pro Fortran includes both 32-bit and 64-bit compilers incorporating advanced optimization technologies designed to create faster applications on any hardware configuration. The compiler automatically uses all available processors, and invokes multi-threading, vectorization, data perfecting, PGO, IPO, and more. Coupled with the included optimized math libraries, you are assured of maximum performance on single and multi-core systems, running Leopard or Tiger.

Faster code, PLUS a better development environment! Absoft simplifies code development by solving the problems associated with IDEs such as Visual Studio and Xcode - excellent for C++, but with no knowledge of Fortran. The Absoft IDE supports both Fortran and C and automatically provides proper syntax sensitivity, array indexing, etc. for each language. It includes everything you need: F95 compilers, programmer's editor, Fx3 graphical debugger, application framework, graphics and optimized math libraries in a single, easy-to-use package.

Single Solution - Linux, Windows and MacOS. Simplify code development for multiple platforms. Absoft provides same look and feel on every platform and allows you to build native applications for Linux, Windows and Mac from a single code base! Absoft's exclusive MaxFlex license manager allows a single license to float across Linux/Windows/Mac, saving you time and money.

20 New and Improved Features for v11.0!

Compiler:

• Support for Apple's Snow Leopard (10.6.x) operating system and SDK.
• 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 Intel processors in newer Apple systems.
• 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 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 popup windows by selecting their name in in the source code window.
• Set environment variables for the debugged program.
• Run a script of debugger commands on program launch.
