Does somebody know if the INTEL fortran compiler for LINUX is compatible with LINUX Suze SLES10 on AMD Opteron ?

Thanks

We'll have to wait another day or 2 to see if ifort 10 specifically documents compatibility with SLES10. As ifort 9.1 came out before SLES10, it's documented as compatible with SLES9.
Customers have been using ifort 9.1 with SLES10 on both Intel and Opteron. Only the -xW architecture flag is compatible with Opteron, as ifort does not distinguish between Opteron with and without SSE3. The one situation where this is a disadvantage is that it disables SSE3 vectorization of complex arithmetic.

Intel Fortran Compiler for Linux version 10.0 was released today and includes support for SLES 10.

For your AMD system you will want to read the Release Notes for the -xO option that was added in version 10.0
