ABSOFT UNVEILS PRO FORTRAN V10.1 FOR WINDOWS.Absoft(r) Corporation, Rochester Hills, Mich., a leading developer of compilers, debuggers and software development tools for high performance computing, has unveiled its new Pro Fortran v Fortran V - Preliminary work on adding character handling to Fortran by IBM ca. 1962. This name as never really used. 10.1 for Windows which includes tuning for the new Quad-Core AMD (Advanced Micro Devices, Inc., Sunnyvale, CA, www.amd.com) A major manufacturer of semiconductor devices including x86-compatible CPUs, embedded processors, flash memories, programmable logic devices and networking chips. Opteron(tm). Absoft and AMD are co-operating to advance compiler technology designed to simplify migration to, and increase performance on, new systems based on quad-core technology from AMD (NYSE NYSE See: New York Stock Exchange :AMD). Absoft's new Pro Fortran for Windows is the second product family from Absoft targeted toward AMD's multi-processor, multi-core systems. In addition to new multi-core support, auto-parallelization and auto vectorization, the new Absoft Pro Fortran v10.1 includes the first commercial Fortran IDE for Windows designed to simplify Fortran/C development. Pricing starts at $299. "We are very impressed with the excellent performance capabilities and low energy footprint of the new Quad-Core AMD Opteron processors and our new v10.1 technology is showing significant performance gains over previous releases," said Wood Lotz, president of Absoft. "Absoft Fortran was recently verified by an independent party as the performance leader on AMD Opteron processor-based Windows Vista The current version of Windows for the desktop. It was released in late 2006 for businesses and early 2007 for consumers. Vista adds numerous features, including improved security and advanced multimedia capabilities. systems and Absoft remains committed to providing customers with the highest performance applications on AMD processor-based systems and the most complete, easiest-to-use Fortran development environment available." Pro Fortran v10.1 includes both 32-bit and 64-bit compilers, which are fully source compatible with previous versions so performance improvements, or migration to multi-core systems, can typically be accomplished with a simple recompile To compile a program again. A program is recompiled after a change has been made to it in order to test and run the revised version. Programs are recompiled many times during the course of development and maintenance. See compile. . Continued v10.1 enhancements for Quad-Core AMD Opteron processors will be available from Absoft via Service Packs to registered v10.1 customers at no charge. "With focus on innovative solutions to help developers navigate the dynamics of multi-core processor technology, AMD is working with Absoft to advance system performance and simplify code migration to our new Quad-Core AMD Opteron processors," said Margaret Lewis Margaret Lewis is an American playwright working in the Chicago and national theatre scene. Fellow Travellers premiered at Stage Left Theatre in Chicago, Illinois in 2006 and won a Jeff Citation for Best New Work - Play. , director, commercial solutions, AMD. "By enabling development tools like compilers and performance libraries to generate multi-threaded code with superior performance, we are empowering the community of Windows developers who are using Fortran to tap into the multi-threading capabilities of AMD's native quad-core technology." The Fortran IDE included with Absoft Pro Fortran suite simplifies code development and is the first graphical IDE designed specifically for Fortran/C development on Windows. Included is everything necessary to build and run multi-threaded applications, including: programmer's editor, compiler, graphical debugger Software that helps a programmer debug a program by stopping at certain breakpoints and displaying various programming elements. The programmer can step through source code statements one at a time while the corresponding machine instructions are being executed. , graphical integrated development environment See IDE. integrated development environment - interactive development environment , math libraries and graphics -- nothing else to buy or learn. The Absoft IDE will be included on all Pro Fortran v10.1 products for Windows, Linux and Mac. Providing the same functionality, look and feel on all systems makes it especially well suited for mixed platform development. In addition to Absoft products, the IDE supports select third party software including compilers from Apple, GNU gnu (n  ) or wildebeest (wĭl`dəbēst'), large African antelope, genus Connochaetes. and Microsoft,
and VNI's IMSL numerical libraries IMSL (International Mathematics and Statistics Library) is a collection of software libraries of numerical analysis functionality that are implemented in widely used computer programming languages of C, Java, C#.NET, and Fortran. .
