Is there AMD64 support in Intel Fortran 8.1

[osuzorba]

We are trying to benchmark some simulation software operating in 64-bit, but I have not been able to get the source code to actually compile 64 bit. The lastest version of Intel Fortran we have is 8.1 and we have the last version of compaq.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The 8.1 Windows and linux compilers for x64 are separate downloads, which you get on your account on premier.intel.com, after registering the corresponding 32-bit compiler. The 9.x compilers have all 3 architectures in one installation package. Recent 9.x compilers are significantly better on AMD, but of course the 64-bit code generation is targeted for Intel EM64T.

Okay, I got the latest version of 9.x off the website and installed the em64t compiler. Now how do I actually get it to compile with that compiler through the IDE? I really don't want to use the command line as the simulation program I am trying to compile has over 200 source files.

I've tried toget answers in the documentation but couldn't find anything that specifically said how to invoke the em64t compiler instead of the IA-32 compiler.

If I do have to compile on the command line is there a how-to guide somewhere (I've never used a command line compiler)?

Thanks,

There's no IDE support for the EM64T compiler until the next version and VS2005. Look in the provided Building Applications manual - it explains the use of the command line.
