I haven't been impressed with the speed of response to my issue, no. 234495. I've had slow but steadycommunication from Intel. Every time the support contact asks me to try something or to submit files I try to respond within a day so that the effort isn't held up from my end.
It's hard to know how many resources Intel is throwing at these bug report investigations. Is it one guy or ten? Is Intel receiving one support request a day or 20?
I also think that there might be a training issue. IVF is a new product blended from its CVF and IF ingredients. Neither the former Compaq/HP people nor the Intel people have prior experience with it, so I imagine that they're doing some learning together with us.
Style of communication is another issue. I would rather hear something on a regular basis when I'm waiting for help, but people sometimes don't want to respond until they have some kind of concrete progress to report.
I don't have the money to buy other Fortran compilers to try them out, and I don't have the time for that kind of evaluation even if I did have the money. I'm pretty much committed to using IVF, but I hope that the support gets better with time.
I don't use Fortran constantly in my job, but I'm starting a new project that does require some Fortran programming. I hope that I don't turn up a bunch of problems that require help and then have to wait a long time to get help.
