Absoft Pro for Mac OS Intel
New Absoft Pro Fortran for Mac OS
on Intel®
64-bit Fortran for Mac OS/Intel
Includes full 32/64-bit Development Suite
“I have been quite pleased with the performance of the Absoft Pro Fortran v10 compiler and associated tools. Working with the Absoft tools on an Intel based system has been a pleasure, especially considering the speed of compilation and execution of my resulting programs!”

Fortran for Mac OS/Intel: Absoft Pro Fortran v10 - Fortran solution for Mac OS/Intel. Installs and runs on either Tiger or Leopard and provides superior performance in both 32-bit and 64-bit mode. Also included with the products is; a complete Integrated Development Environment (IDE) with programmer's editor, auto-make, graphical debugger, MRWE application framework, math libraries, graphics and free support. Everything is included in one package. Easy to install, nothing else to buy and nothing else to learn!
Take advantage of the superior performance of Absoft's 64-bit compilers. See Polyhedron Fortran Benchmark Comparison - 64-bit runs faster than 32-bit code. Mac OS/PPC (G4/G5) users please see Pro Fortran V9.22 |

| Compatibility and Companion Products |
Absoft Pro Fortran uses an extended version of the Cray CF90 front end and adheres to the latest ISO and ANSI Fortran 95 standards. Extensions from all major workstations have been added to make sure your code ports from any environment with minimal effort. Absoft Fortran compilers conform to all DoD MIL-STD 1753, FIPS 69-1, and POSIX standards, support most popular VAX/VMS extensions including RECORD, STRUCTURE, POINTER, and UNION, (per V5.4 of VMS FORTRAN), QUAD (REAL*16) data types as well as others from IBM/VS, Cray, Sun FORTRAN as well as FORTRAN 66 conventions. Automatic byte-swapping and full integration with many third party tools means porting code from virtually any environment requires little more than a recompilation without rewriting code. The F95 compiler can operate in F95, F90 or F77 modes.
VAST-F/Parallel - Pre-processor that automatically parallelizes source code
