Intel(R) Fortran Compiler Help ============================== Intel(R) Compiler includes compiler options that optimize for instruction sets that are available in both Intel(R) and non-Intel microprocessors, but may perform additional optimizations for Intel microprocessors than for non-Intel microprocessors. In addition, certain compiler options for Intel(R) Compiler are reserved for Intel microprocessors. For a detailed description of these compiler options, including the instructions they implicate, please refer to "Intel(R) Compiler User and Reference Guides > Compiler Options." usage: ifort [options] file1 [file2 ...] [/link linker_options] where options represents zero or more compiler options fileN is a Fortran source (.f .for .ftn .f90 .fpp .i .i90), assembly (.asm), object (.obj), static library (.lib), or other linkable file linker_options represents zero or more linker options Notes ----- 1.
