New to ICC in Linux

daneshd · ‎06-03-2007

Hi all,

I have recently started to work with Intel C++ Compiler on Linux. I ave following question. Would be very happy if someone can help:

1. Is there any GUI for ICC on Linux?
2. What advantages does ICC has by comparign with GCC except optimization?
3. How can I use OpenMP with ICC and can I use OpenMP with GCC?
4. Does ICC support assembly inline code? If yes, should it be in AT&T format or Intel's fomat?

Regards,

D.

I was about to say, read the posted release notes, but they don't display correctly for me.
1. icc includes a copy of Eclipse.
3. icc has included OpenMP for several years. gcc includes OpenMP, beginning with the most recent release. These versions of OpenMP don't work together, but are source compatible, within the OpenMP standard.
4. icc defaults to AT&T inline asm format. Also, the intrinsics defined in et al. are compatible between icc and gcc, between linux and Windows, and between 32- and 64-bit.
