Intel Fortran Compiler Professional Edition offers the best support for creating multi-threaded applications. Only the Professional Edition offers the breadth of advanced optimization, multi-threading, and processor support that includes automatic processor dispatch, vectorization, auto-parallelization, OpenMP*, data prefetching, loop unrolling, substantial Fortran 2003 support, and an optimized math processing library.
The Professional Edition combines a high performance compiler with Intel Math Kernel Library (Intel MKL). The Professional Edition creates a strong foundation for building robust, high performance parallel code at significant price savings.
The Standard Edition compiler has the same performance and features as the Professional Edition compiler, but does not include Intel MKL.
