Hi,
When ASM statements are present in the code and compiled on Itanium (RHEL3 Update 1) with Intel compiler V8.0, it comes out with an error saying asm statements not supported in this environment.
can anyone throw some light on this?
regards,
kalyan

Intel and Microsoft compilers aren't supporting asm() on 64-bit systems, because of insufficient portability. The supported method for low-level coding is the use of the intrinsics, defined in and thelike. If there is something usefulon Microsoft's list which ifort doesn't yet support, that would be a good feature request for submission on your Premier account. You have also the option of gcc.
