README ----------------------------------------------------------------------- The Open64 compiler suite includes optimizing compilers and runtime support for C, C++ and FORTRAN 77/90/95. These compilers produce code that follows the corresponding ABI on IA-32/Linux, x86_64/Linux and IA-64/Linux and be compatible with the latest GCC revesion. This means that objects produced by the Open64 compilers can link with objects produced by other ABI compliant compilers. The latest information and updates for the Open64 compilers will eventually be found at http://www.open64.net. The latest code in development can be obtained via SVN at http://svn.open64.net. The downloadable packages of sources or binaries can be found at http://www.sf.net/projects/open64. Please send problem reports to the mailing list described to the BugZilla system at https://bugs.open64.net Language highlights: C compatible with gcc, with gcc extensions C++ compatible g++, with g++ extensions FORTRAN 77/90/95 support Optimization highlights: Platform-independent optimizations: Code Motion Constant propagation Dead code elimination Expression simplification Common subexpression elimination Strength reduction Partial redundency elimination Loop optimizations, enabled at '-O3' Interprocedural analysis and optimization, enabled with '-ipa' Platform-dependent optimizations: Software pipelining on IA-64 Control and Data speculation on IA-64 Integrated instruction scheduling with resource management Other features OpenMP support in C/C++/Fortran Upcoming features Advanced data prefetch New alias analysis framework New interprocedural analysis and optimization framework More optimizations Installation Information The Open64 compiler is available in both binary and source-code form on IA32/x86_64/IA-64.
