Compaq's Fortran for Linux Alpha Systems now available for Beta test!
Compaq is very pleased to announce the beta availability of its
industrial
strength, highly optimized Fortran 95 compiler. This compiler as well
as a
Fortran 90 capable debugger and
tuned math library is immediately available for test and evaluation on
Linux Alpha based systems. All interested customers are invited to
register
as beta testers and download the software from
http://www.digital.com/fortran/linux/
The Alpha optimized Fortran compiler and math libraries have been
developed
in response to customer demand from the High Performance Technical
Computing
(HPTC) community and will provide the Linux technical community with
tools
for getting the best
Alpha performance.
Compaq is partnering with the University of New Hampshire(UNH) to
provide an
innovative support
approach for its Linux Alpha based development tools. Beginning with
the
Beta program,
UNH will be developing a peer support environment with information and
tools
available to solve customer problems.
Fortran is the first compiler available from Compaq for the Linux Alpha
platform. Other compilers (including C and C++) are planned for the
future.
