Intel compilers


 * Note: nightshade will be converted to Solaris on January 3rd, 2011, after which the Intel compilers will no longer be available.

This page describes how to use the Intel C, C++ and FORTRAN compilers on the toolserver (on nightshade).

License
The Intel compilers require a license to use. You can get a free license if you are using it for non-commercial purposes (this includes most toolserver users).


 * 1) Go to http://www.intel.com/cd/software/products/asmo-na/eng/340679.htm
 * 2) Click "Intel® C++ Compiler Professional Edition for Linux"
 * 3) Fill in the form and submit it.
 * 4) You will be taken to a download page.  Don't download anything.
 * 5) Intel will send you mail with the license file (named *.lic) attached.  Create a directory $HOME/intel/licenses/ on nightshade, and copy the file there.  The compiler should now work.

Compiling
The C compiler is icc: $ icc myprogram.c -o myprogram The C++ compiler is icpc: $ icpc myprogram.cc -o myprogram The FORTRAN compiler is ifort: $ ifort myprogram.f90 -o myprogram
