Windows IFC forum and tech support

[gfthomas8]

Navigating the Intel site is like a visit to the post office, :-(.

For example, why does

http://www.intel.com/software/products/global/prodreview.htm#vtune

respond with an Orwellian 'You are not authorized to view
this page' when I try to access any article referenced?

(1) Does IFC have a forum like this one and if so what is
the direct url?
(2) Does IFC have email support like vf and if so what's
the address?

Thank you,
Gerry T.

THIS is the Windows IFC forum (as well as for CVF.)

IFC does not have e-mail support - there is a nice web submission interface at http://premier.intel.com/ You need to first register, using your serial number. Even eval copies can ask for support.

I tried the links you mentioned and they worked for me, but these use JavaScript and redirection and it causes problems for some browsers and configurations.

Well what do you know, you're right. A search for ifc vs cvf suggests that less than 5% of posts to this forum are related to ifc and most of those concern ifc's relation to cvf and ivf. I presume it has a greater following with the linux set as does vtune with icc users.

Ciao,

What is "icc?"

ifc : Fortran :: icc : C

Actually, this is not the IFC forum - that's http://softwareforums.intel.com/ids/board?board.id=11

This is the IFL forum! And the EFL forum! Confused? Understandable. In the mysterious future, there will be one spelling of the compiler command across all Intel platforms.

What does "ifc : Fortran :: icc : C" mean?

[Steven_L_Intel1]

The command line verbs used to invoke the compilers.

ifl = Fortran for IA-32 Windows
efl = Fortran for Itanium Windows
ifc = Fortran for IA-32 Linux
efc = Fortran for Itanium Linux
icl = C++ for IA-32 Windows
...

In the next major release, all of the Fortrans will be "ifort". C++ isn't changing. We'll provide "stub" drivers for the old names so as to not break makefiles right away.

ifc is to Fortran as icc is to C.
