NoteThis documentation assumes that you are familiar with the Fortran Standard programming language and with the Intel® processor architecture. You should also be familiar with the host computer's operating system.
Note
This document explains how information and instructions apply differently to each targeted architecture. If there is no specific indication as to the architecture, the description is applicable for all architectures.
In addition to this document, you should also have access to these documents:
Intel® Fortran Compiler Options reference
Intel® Fortran Language Reference
Intel® Fortran Libraries Reference
Intel® Fortran Optimizing Applications
Intel® Fortran Release Notes

This manual uses the following conventions.
|
Intel® Fortran |
The name of the common compiler language supported by the Intel® Visual Fortran Compiler for Windows* and Intel Fortran Compiler for Linux* products. |
|
Intel® EM64T |
The label used to indicate IA-32 systems with Intel® Extended Memory 64 Technology (Intel® EM64T). |
|
This type style |
Elements of syntax, reserved words, option keywords, variables, file names, and code examples are shown in a monospaced font. The text appears in lowercase unless uppercase is required. |
|
THIS TYPE STYLE |
Statements, keywords, and directives are shown in all uppercase, in a normal font. For example, “add the USE statement…” |
|
This type style |
Bold normal text shows menu names, menu items, button names, dialog window names, and other user-interface items. |
|
File>Open |
Menu names and menu items joined by a greater than (>) sign indicate a sequence of actions. For example, "Click File>Open" indicates that in the File menu, click Open to perform this action. |
|
This type style |
Bold, monospaced text indicates user input. Shows what you type as command or input. |
|
This type style |
Italic, monospaced text indicates placeholders for information that you must supply. Italics are also used to introduce new terms. |
|
[options] |
Items inside single square brackets are optional. (In some examples, square brackets are used to show arrays.) |
|
{value | value} |
Braces and a vertical bar indicate a choice among two or more items. You must choose one of the items unless all of the items are also enclosed in square brackets. |
|
... |
A horizontal ellipsis (three dots) following an item indicates that the item preceding the ellipsis can be repeated. In code examples, a horizontal ellipsis means that not all of the statements are shown. |
|
Linux* systems |
An asterisk at the end of a word or name indicates it is a third-party product trademark. |
The following table lists default compiler installation paths, which will be used if you do not specify an installation directory when you install the product.
The term <install-dir> will be used in the documentation to indicate the installation path.
|
Compiler |
Default Compiler Installation Path |
|
IA-32 compiler |
/opt/intel/fc/9.0/ |
|
Itanium® compiler |
/opt/intel/fc/9.0/ |
|
IA-32 on Intel® EM64T compiler |
/opt/intel/fc/9.0/ |
|
Intel® EM64T on Intel® EM64T compiler |
/opt/intel/fce/9.0/ |
If you specify an installation directory, the installation process will use that directory and will install compiler files under the specified directory. Any path you specify serves as the full path and subdirectories such as bin, lib, and include will be created under the path. For example, if, during installation, you specify an installation directory of /home/my_account/intel_compiler, the /bin subdirectory will be installed below the named directory, as shown in the following:
/home/my_account/intel_compiler/bin
