Today IBM is pleased to announce new release of XL Fortran.
IBM XL Fortran Enterprise Edition (formerly known as XL Fortran) V9.1 for
AIX is a tool for developing high performance applications. With its
extensive industry-leading optimization technology, you have a powerful
development environment to build Fortran applications.
XL Fortran Enterprise Edition V9.1 for AIX is a standard-based compiler.
XL Fortran fully supports OpenMP Fortran API V2.0 and is fully compliant
with FORTRAN 77, Fortran 90, and Fortran 95 standards. It also provides
partial support for the Fortran 2003 draft standard. XL Fortran supports
both IBM and industry extensions as well.
XL Fortran Enterprise Edition V9.1 for AIX is a highly optimizing, native
Fortran compiler designed to exploit the IBM RS/6000 and eServer pSeries
line of symmetric-multiprocessing (SMP) hardware. It exploits not only
IBM PowerPC, POWER3, and POWER4 architectures, but also POWER5 - the
latest hardware architecture. In addition, XL Fortran Enterprise Edition
V9.1 for AIX adds new exploitation of IBM eServer BladeCenter JS20 with
PowerPC 970 processor.
What's new in V9.1?
- POWER5 architecture exploitation
- BladeCenter JS20 exploitation
- Additional performance tuning for POWER4
- Additional support of the Fortran 2003 draft standard
- New compiler directives, builtins, and options
- Loop optimization improvements
