Intel Parallel Studio just for C++?

rrobinson2 — Fri, 18 Jun 2010 10:28:04 GMT

Seems the academics (vs. those who actually do something useful) have captured the
IntelParallel Studio. Is there any hope of FORTRAN (95, 2003, 2008)support there?
(Please excuse my attitude, I am a "dinosaur" programmer,as I was recently called by
a co-worker).

That's a fair comment; to some extent Parallel Studio is an educational tool, academic fashion doesn't usually include Fortran, so the demand for those tools was seen as mainly for C++. Similar developments for Fortran are on the way. Being a dinosaur myself, I hope the better side of the current parallel tools isn't taken away.

Intel Parallel Studio is aimed at the "mainstream C++" market. You can expect to see us expand the capabilities of its analysis tools, Parallel Amplifier and Parallel Inspector, to support Fortran as well. Look for developments later this year.

As a former academic, I take exception to this ;-/. We always taught our chemical engineering students Fortran. But perhaps that is because we expect them to beable to do something useful when they graduate.

I too, hope we can get good access to Parallel tools at a reasonableprice. While I am in industry now, as someone who programs to get things done, I do not spend a great deal of my time in the really serious programming that some of you do. Paying substantial sums of money for tools that I not only need to spend a great deal of time to get my head around, but also may only use 5% of the time, is not feasible, esp. in the current economic climate.

Regards,

David

and where differences of opinion between developers over

if {
}

vs

if
{
}

can cause WWIII

no thanks

BTW you did miss a }
