Optimizing Fortran compiler available for Solaris 2.x---free
The GPMIMD-2 project has just taken delivery of a 32-node Meiko CS-2. As the result of various technical and financial considerations, the project is acquiring the Edinburgh Portable Compilers (EPC) Fortran 90 compiler for use on each of the nodes. This compiler is fully optimizing and accepts all the usual Fortran 77 extensions. It has thus been tested on the CERN Program Library and with the CERN benchmark. The terms of the contract are such that we can offer, free of charge, use of this compiler on any Solaris 2.x system on the CERN site. Anyone wishing to take advantage of this offer should, in the first instance, contact Irene Lequerica (i.lequerica@cern.ch).
