Why Use the Intel® Compilers?
The Intel® compilers give application developers access to the advanced
architecture of the latest Intel processors for both IA-32 and the Itanium®
architecture. These compilers have several features to maximize application
performance:
- Flexibility
You can target specific 32-bit or 64-bit Intel processors for optimization,
including the Pentium® 4 and Itanium processors. You can use the
Intel compilers directly from the command line, or in conjunction with
your current development environment, such as Microsoft* Visual Studio*,
so you can adapt it to the way you work.
- Compatibility
The Intel compilers support both official and de-facto standards.
- Ease of Use
Optimization features let the compiler do the work necessary to take
advantage of the target processor's architecture.
- Efficiency
Automatic compiler optimizations reduce the need to write specific code
for specific processors. Code remains much more portable and easier
to maintain.
- Support
