I develop Fortran programs for HPC applications such as CFD. I am planning to acquire a workstation with 12 cores and 192 GB RAM and hope to be able to run multiple serial, parallel (OpenMP or MPI based) or both types ofFortran programs simultaneously on the workstation.
1. Is this possible?
2. Which Windows operating system should I install on the workstation? Will Windows 7 allow utilization of all cores simultaneously and efficient utilization of the large amount of memory available or will it be necessary to install Windows Server or some other operating system?
3. Which Intel Fortran product should I consider purchasing?
4. If I wish to be able to fully utilize all 12 cores on the workstation to run 12 serial Fortran programs simultaneously, how many copies/licenses of Fortran compilers will I need to purchase?
5. The organization that I work in requires official quotations of products that I wish to purchase. Who can I contact regarding quotations?

1. Yes. For best performance, I would recommend a system based on Intel Xeon processors.
2. Windows 7 Professional, Enterprise or Ultimate edition will work fine.
3. There is only one - Intel Visual Fortran Composer XE 2011.
4. 1 license. We license the compiler on a per-user basis. Compiled applications, other than those that use the optional IMSL library, have no run-time license restrictiions.
5. I suggest you contact one of our resellers (see links here).

On point 3, we offer two packages that include Fortran as well as additional tools that you may find helpful. Intel Fortran Studio XE adds Intel Inspector XE (a correctness checking tool) and Intel VTune Amplifier XE (a performance analysis tool), as well as the Static Security Analysis feature.
Since you mentioned MPI, you may also be interested in Intel Cluster Studio XE, which includes all of the above plus the Intel MPI library, Intel Trace Analyzer and Collector (great for examining the performance of MPI programs), Intel MPI Benchmarks and Intel C++ Composer XE.
