The Intel C++ Compiler and Fortran Professional Editions are intended to bring together a combination of compilers, performance libraries and the Intel Threading Building Blocks.<\/font><\/p>\n

The products are said to feature automatic support for accelerating program performance on Intel’s latest multi-core processors. Applications containing 3-D graphics or video are automatically accelerated through the use of vectors via Streaming SIMD Extensions (SSE), including the latest SSE 4 instructions, Intel says.<\/font><\/p>\n

Application performance is also accelerated by multi-core processors through the use of multiple threads, the company adds. Combining the use of vectors and threads and integrating them with a technology known as loop transformation is intended to generate greater performance on multi-core processors without requiring developers to rewrite their code.<\/font><\/p>\n

“Combining these capabilities in a co-operative and co-ordinated manner brings our customers added performance benefits and compiler reliability, which, in turn, gives greater PC responsiveness for gamers and everyday PC users,” says Kevin J. Smith, director of Intel Compiler Products.<\/font><\/p>\n

The combined capabilities also aim to provide benefits that extend beyond multi-core optimisations by assisting developers in locating vulnerabilities that would otherwise go undetected, such as uninitialised variables and possible buffer overruns.<\/font><\/p>\n

The Intel C++ Professional Edition for Windows, Linux and Mac OS X are designed to combine the Intel compiler with the Intel Math Kernel Library, the Intel Integrated Performance Primitives and the Intel Threading Building Blocks.<\/font><\/p>\n

The products are all available with suggested prices ranging from 599 to 1599. Upgrades to the Professional Editions from the prior version of Intel compilers or libraries are available for a limited time through resellers worldwide.<\/font><\/p>\n
