PGF77 Server

FORTRAN 77 for 32-bit and 64-bit AMD64 and IA32 processor-based servers.

PGF77® Server is PGI's FORTRAN 77-only compiler bundle for multi-user systems and workgroups. PGF77 Server includes multi-user network floating licenses for the PGI FORTRAN 77 compiler, for PGDBG® OpenMP Linux graphical debugger (not currently available on Microsoft* Windows*) and for PGPROF® graphical OpenMP Linux performance profiler (command-level only on Windows).

If you develop or maintain scientific and technical applications, chances are you have a big investment in Fortran. After four decades, it's still the cornerstone of technical computing. PGF77 Server, The Portland Group's native OpenMP-parallel optimizing FORTRAN 77 compiler and Linux OpenMP debugger/profiler Intel Pentium II/III/4, Intel Xeon/Xeon-64 and AMD Athlon/AthlonXP/Opteron processor-based 32-bit and 64-bit Linux and 32-bit Windows (NT/2000,XP) servers, provides the features, quality, and reliability you demand for development and maintenance of advanced scientific and technical applications. Support for common IBM, DEC, and Sun extensions, Cray compatibility, and integrated cpp pre-processing allow you to migrate legacy F77 applications quickly and easily from RISC workstations and servers to 32-bit and 64-bit systems.

The PGF77 Server compiler and OpenMP Linux debugger/profiler allow multiple users to compile, debug and profile high performance parallel FORTRAN 77 applications on any compatible computer networked to the system on which the PGI compiler is installed (a network-floating license). PGF77 Server allows debugging and profiling on up to 16 processors or threads while allowing multiple simultaneous users of the Server products. Executables are constrained to use at most 16 processors/threads. There are also no parallel runtime fees of any kind -- the executables produced by PGF77 Server compiler can be executed on any compatible system regardless of whether the PGI compiler is installed.
