Absoft Pro Fortran v10 Compiler Suite for 32-bit and 64-bit Windows Faster Code, Better Tools, Nothing Else to Buy! "The cross platform compatibility of
Absoft's compiler range is a key factor for us. Our recent port to Absoft
v10 on Win64 was very straightforward. Everything worked as expected,
including the Fortran/C linkage. We are now able to target five different
platforms running Absoft compilers, from a common code base."
The Absoft Pro Fortran Compiler Suite for Windows:
Low-cost bundle options available with Pro Fortran for Windows include the IMSL Fortran Numerical Libraries, MATFOR Numerical and Visualization Libraries and VAST auto-parallelization tools. Pre-compiled graphics libraries (2D/3D) are included at no charge, along with pre-built libraries for efficient linear algebra (BLAS, ATLAS and LAPACK95) and are optimized for 32-bit and 64-bit AMD and Intel processors to ensure maximum performance. Visit Polyhedron's F90 test results to see how Pro Fortran compares against other F90 compilers. Hierarchical Data Format (HDF) libraries are included to simplify program development for earth sciences applications. The Absoft Pro Fortran User's Guide provides step by step instructions and examples of program development through edit, compile, link and debug cycles along with suggested options for porting code from other environments. The Absoft Programmer's Editor uses color syntax to highlight key words and data types. Absoft's Fx2™ Debugger supports Fortran development with intermixed C and assembly code. Mixed language applications are easily created with Fortran, C/C++ and assembler in a single environment using Pro Fortran. The Fortran and C/C++ compilers operate equally well from the command line or the graphical user interface included within the IDE. All Absoft Pro Fortran products include professional technical support with friendly technical engineers via telephone, email or fax at no additional charge. For users working in multiple environments, multi-platform discount bundles are available. Absoft's no charge companion home license policy allows registered users to install Pro Fortran on home systems for personal use at no additional cost. The Pro Fortran Compiler Suite for Windows is available in three Editions: Pro Fortran Standard Edition · The standard edition includes a complete Fortran compiler suite optimized for single processor systems running Win2K and later. Pro FortranMP Edition · The Multi-processing or MP edition includes everything in the Standard Edition plus a thread-safe runtime library and a "lite" version of VAST-F/Parallel, an application pre-processor which automatically restructures code written for single processors so that it executes on dual processor systems. Pro FortranMP runs on systems running Win2K and later. Upgrades from the "lite" to the full version of VAST are also available. Pro Fortran Academic Edition · The Academic Edition is identical to the Standard Edition at a special price for qualified academic clients; documentation is provided on CD only; the Academic Edition is not eligible for upgrades. Licensing options include:
Single User/Single Seat, Floating and MaxFlex (multi-platform) licenses Site licenses are available for all editions of Pro Fortran for Windows. A minimum of 5 or more licenses are required for network licensing. Please contact Absoft sales for complete network license details and pricing.
New v10 compilers generate industry-leading performance for both 32-bit and 64-bit AMD and Intel processors New 32-bit v10 compiler generates code that is up to 20% faster than the previous v9.0 release New Fx3 Debugger included at no extra cost
New optimizations in v10.0 provide performance increases of up to 20% on industry standard benchmarks such as the Polyhedron benchmark suite.
Pro Fortran provides full support of the Windows API directly from Fortran. A detailed chapter on Windows programming is included in the documentation. MRWE, the Absoft application framework, is a native Windows Multiple Document Interface (MDI) Windows program written completely in Fortran. Complete documented source is provided as a tutorial on Windows programming in Fortran. The source may be easily modified and recompiled if additional features or modifications are desired. The process of combining Fortran and C routines into a single application has been a major frustration to many Windows programmers. Microsoft requires use of non-standard Fortran syntax to accomplish this feat. Absoft Pro Fortrans provide a better solution: Absoft Fortran compilers are link-compatible and use standard Microsoft C calling conventions. Mixed Fortran/C applications are easily generated entirely from within the Pro Fortran development environment or can be easily linked with code created in Microsoft C. Example code is provided in the documentation. Pro Fortran compilers are also debug-compatible with the Microsoft C compiler included with the Microsoft platform SDK..
Pro Fortran includes
a new, flexible graphics library called PLplot. PLplot can be
called from Fortran as well as C, and C++ and can create standard
x-y plots, semilog plots, log-log plots, contour plots, 3D plots,
mesh plots, bar charts and pie charts. Multiple graphs (of the
same or different sizes) may be placed on a single page with
multiple lines in each graph. HDF precompiled libraries are included with every copy of Pro Fortran. Absoft
manufactures high performance Fortran compiler suites for Windows,
Macintosh(OS9 and OS X), Intel/Linux and PPC/Linux based systems.
Absoft compiler suites are source compatible across the different
platforms which means in most cases, only a recompile is needed
to port code from one environment to another. Additionally,
Absoft's volume pricing policies allow mixing Fortrans from
different platforms for best price. Contact Absoft
sales for further information on these matters. VAST "lite" for Windows MP Edition A "lite" Version of VAST-F/Parallel, an auto-parallelizing preprocessor capable of automatically restructuring application code for execution on dual processor systems. A full version of VAST Parallel is available as an option to Absoft Pro FortranMP users. The full VAST version includes everything in the lite version plus OpenMP support and additional optimizations. Pricing and ordering information for the full version of VAST please contact sales@absoft.com.
Multi-processor Shared Memory Parallel (SMP) Support
Pro Fortran installs on Win2K and later implementations. The compiler can be run either from the command line or the GUI in the Integrated Development Environment. Pro Fortran (Standard and MP Editions) includes a complete hard copy User Guide with clear examples of editing, compiling, debugging and running programs. Linking with C is simple and straightforward from Pro Fortran. The Absoft Fx2 Debugging Solution, included at no charge, is one of the few debugging tools which can properly debug both Fortran and C code. To ensure maximum performance, suggested options for compatibility and optimizations are clearly defined. Pre-built mathematical libraries and graphics are also included further performance and development efficiencies. Back to top Agreement:

Absoft Pro Fortran uses an extended version of the Cray CF90 front end and adheres to the latest ISO and ANSI Fortran 95 standards. Extensions from all major workstations have been added to make sure your code ports from any environment with minimal effort. Absoft Fortran compilers conform to all DoD MIL-STD 1753, FIPS 69-1, and POSIX standards, support most popular VAX/VMS extensions including RECORD, STRUCTURE, POINTER, and UNION, (per V5.4 of VMS FORTRAN), QUAD (REAL*16) data types as well as others from IBM/VS, Cray, Sun FORTRAN as well as FORTRAN 66 conventions. Automatic byte-swapping and full integration with many third party tools means porting code from virtually any environment requires little more than a recompilation without rewriting code. The F95 compiler can operate in F95, F90 or F77 modes.
Additional third party products can
be found on ISVs and Resources.
