Compaq Fortran for Linux Alpha Released

stevel wrote to us with the news that Compaq has announced Version 1.0 of Compaq Fortran for Linux Alpha systems. The compiler is the same as the one that is used on Tru64 Unix, OpenVMS, and Windows. Click below for more details from Compaq.

Compaq Fortran for Linux Alpha systems is a full-language Fortran 95 implementation. Fortran programs using the latest features as well as traditional Fortran 77 programs will be able to take advantage of the highly optimized Alpha code generation technology to take advantage of the Alpha processor's leadership performance. The compiler also supports most of the popular language extensions available on other Compaq platforms (OpenMP and HPF features are not currently supported.)

Accompanying the compiler and optimized run-time libraries is Ladebug, a robust and easy to use debugger that will simplify the debugging of all of your Fortran applications.

Also provided is the Compaq Extended Math Library (CXML), a library of technical and scientific subroutines.

Compaq Fortran for Linux Alpha Systems is available as a free download under a Technology Enthusiast license for non-commerical use. A Commercial Use license and media kit is available for US$399 - attractive multiple-license pricing is also available.
