Intel produces a Fortran 95 optimizing compiler for Windows NT/2000/98/95
and linux that comes complete with its own debugger, module analyzer, and
preprocessor. The compiler performs automatic
vectorization, and takes full advantage of Intel's MMX and SSE instruction
extensions for the Pentium IV. It requires that Microsoft Visual C/C++
be installed (not on linux), and is capable of plugging into
Visual Studio. ifort for linux is available gratis for non-commercial use.
See http://www.intel.com/software/products/compilers/.
Lahey/Fujitsu Fortran 95 is produced by the Lahey/Fujitsu alliance. LF95

enhancements, etc. The Windows and Linux Express version is command-line
only and features the compiler, linker and debugger. PRO for Windows
adds a Fortran-smart Windows editor, a debugger, an AUTOMAKE make
utility, and an enhanced Winteracter Starter kit (WiSK) for creating
true Windows programs with Fortran, and a Coverage Analysis Tool that
detects unexecuted code and performs range of operation checking. The
PRO is compatible with Visual C++, Visual Basic, and Delphi and also
includes Fujitsu's SSL2 Math Library and Visual Analyzer (see below).
The PRO Linux version offers auto-parallelization, OpenMP compatibility,
thread-safe BLAS and LAPACK, WiSK, AUTOMAKE, and Fujitsu's SSL2. All
products come with free technical support and are available at

command line-based (CLI) tools such as a compiler, building utility,
debugger, and the Sun Performance Library. The second product adds a
complete Integrated Development Environment (IDE) with GUI debugger,
performance tools, along with other components. Both have Interval
Arithmetic and are Open MP and MPI compliant. Improvements include
support for the upcoming Fortran 2000 standard with support for DECIMAL,
IOMSG, ROUND, and IEEE. Global program checking (GPC) has been
extended to perform static verification of OpenMP directives.
