Toolserver:Intel compilers

This page describes how to use the Intel C, C++ and FORTRAN compilers on the toolserver (on nightshade).

License
The Intel compilers require a license to use. You can get a free license if you are using it for non-commercial purposes (this includes most toolserver users).


 * 1) Go to http://www.intel.com/cd/software/products/asmo-na/eng/340679.htm
 * 2) Click "Intel® C++ Compiler Professional Edition for Linux"
 * 3) Fill in the form and submit it.
 * 4) You will be taken to a download page.  Don't download anything.
 * 5) Intel will send you mail with the license file (named *.lic) attached.  Create a directory $HOME/intel/licenses/ on nightshade, and copy the file there.  The compiler should now work.

Environment setup
For Bourne shell users (bash, ksh, zsh): . /opt/intel/cce/10.1.015/bin/iccvars.sh . /opt/intel/idbe/10.1.015/bin/idbvars.sh  . /opt/intel/fce/10.1.015/bin/ifortvars.sh For C shell users (csh, tcsh): source /opt/intel/cce/10.1.015/bin/iccvars.csh source /opt/intel/idbe/10.1.015/bin/idbvars.csh source /opt/intel/fce/10.1.015/bin/ifortvars.csh
 * Add this line to your shell rc file (e.g. ~/.profile):
 * Add this line to your shell rc file (e.g. ~/.login):

Login again, and test the compiler: $ icc -V Intel(R) C Compiler for applications running on Intel(R) 64, Version 10.1   Build 20080312 Package ID: l_cc_p_10.1.015

Compiling
The C compiler is icc: $ icc myprogram.c -o myprogram The C++ compiler is icpc: $ icpc myprogram.cc -o myprogram The FORTRAN compiler is ifort: $ ifort myprogram.f90 -o myprogram
