The complete IMSL Fortran Numerical Library, is now available to users of IBM's high performance XL Fortran compiler on the Mac OS X platform. The IMSL Fortran Numerical Library, version 5.0, includes new powerful and flexible interface modules for all applicable routines. These new interface modules allow users to utilize the fast, convenient optional arguments of the modern Fortran syntax for 100% of the relevant algorithms in the library, allowing for greater control and faster, simpler development of code. The IMSL Fortran Library provides full depth and control via optional arguments for experienced programmers, reduces development efforts by checking data-type matches and array sizing at compile time, and gives developers a simple and flexible interface to the library routines as well as speeds programming and simplifies documentation.

Maybe there are specific types of code where this really compacts the asm? Quote: Originally posted by esquilax: has XLC[++] advanced along enough that one could expect to compile most open source stuff against it without issues? Or is that asking for it? Because for people that use a lot of open source stuff, buying XLC[++] could be considered a CPU upgrade, in a way.

Quote: Sounds reasonable. Any word on educational pricing? The IBM folks had enough trouble finding out that info, and I wasn't about to kill an entire afternoon plugging for more info. The fellow I was talking to got that number from his supervisor and she was positive that it was correct.

For more detailed instructions, please refer to the Installation Guide. A pdf file is located in the disk image at doc/en_US/pdf/install.pdf.

Internet explorer 11 for mac free download. The IDE suite is included at no extra charge with purchases of either compiler. Fx2 Debugger is $300, VAST/Altivec pricing varies depending on your needs and IMSL Fortran Numerical Library is $800, or $450 for academic use. Contact the company for special pricing for floating licenses, upgrades and volume purchases. Mac OS X v10.2 and a G4 or G5 processor are required.

ENUS204-004.PDF (36KB) Document options XL Fortran Advanced Edition V8.1 for Mac OS X includes: • Full compliance with Fortran 77, Fortran 90, and Fortran 95 standards • Partial draft Fortran 2000 standard support • IBM and industry extensions • Industry-leading optimization technology • Exploitation of G5 architecture • Symbolic debugging support For ordering, contact: Your IBM representative or IBM Americas Call Centers at 800-IBM-CALL (Reference: YE001). IBM extends the XL Fortran family to the Apple Mac OS X platform. XL Fortran Advanced Edition V8.1 for Mac OS X now brings Fortran function to customers running the Mac OS X operating system on the new Apple Power Mac G5 computer (Power Mac G4 also supported). With this release, Apple Mac OS X developers can take advantage of proven IBM compiler technology.

Quote: Originally posted by CanSpice: Someone on the fortran-dev mailing list had this to say: quote: Any update on the sales price of the XLF for MAC OS X? Last I heard it was $2900, commercial. I don't see why XLF would be six times the price of XLC, except maybe because Fortran is at least six times better than C. Someone on Macslash said they called IBM, and got these prices: Fortran compiler, one year of tech support and upgrades $999 C/C++ compiler, one year of tech support, and upgrades $499.
