PGF77/PGCC Workstation

by The Portland Group

F77, C++ and ANSI C for 32-bit and 64-bit AMD64 and IA32 processor-based systems.

The PGF77®/PGCC® Workstation includes all features from both PGF77 Workstation and PGCC Workstation compilers and tools. PGF77 Workstation, The Portland Group's native parallelizing/optimizing FORTRAN 77 compiler for 32-bit and 64-bit Linux and 32-bit Microsoft* Windows* (NT/2000/XP) workstations, provides the features, quality, and reliability you demand for development and maintenance of advanced scientific and technical applications. PGCC Workstation includes The Portland Group's native parallelizing/optimizing C++ and ANSI C compilers for Intel Pentium II/III/4/, Intel Xeon/Xeon-64 and AMD Athlon/AthlonXP/Opteron workstations, The C++ compiler closely tracks the proposed ANSI standard and is compatible with cfront versions 2 and 3. The PGCC Workstation compilers are native parallelizing C++ and ANSI C compilers. All C++ functions are compatible with Fortran and C functions, so you can compose programs from components written in all three languages.
