Visual Fortran Compiler on Windows 7 - 64 bit PC

[nherscovici]

Hello,

I appologize if this is not the right forum. I googled other place with no definite answer to my question.

In the past, I used the Compaq Visual Fortran Compiler on 32 bit machines (with the Visual Studio 6 IDE/debugger).

I need to purchase a similar product to work on a Windows 7 64 bit machine (that also has an IDE/Debugger)

I have Visual Studio 2008 and I also need parallel computation capabilities.

I must confess that I am a bit confused when I read the descriptions of the INTEL Visual Fortran products

Please advice.

Thank you

The product you want is Intel Visual Fortran Composer XE 2011. It works with VS2008 (though it includes a Fortran environment based on VS2008 if you don't have a supported VS), supports 32-bit and 64-bit development and Windows 7. It also supports parallel programming through several methods (auto-parallel, OpenMP, DO CONCURRENT and coarrays.)

Since you are moving from CVF, please read Migrating from Compaq Visual Fortran

Can you tell me what you found confusing in the product description so that I can let our marketing people know?
