Intel C++ Compiler 8.1 for Windows free evaluation software

This product provides tools for Windows software developers to create applications that run at top speeds on all Intel® IA-32 processors and the Intel Itanium processors. Optimizations include support for Streaming SIMD Extensions 2 (SSE2) in the Intel Pentium 4 and Pentium M processors, Streaming SIMD Extensions 3 (SSE3) in the Intel Pentium 4 processors with SSE3 support, and software pipelining in the Intel Itanium 2 processor. Inter-procedural optimization (IPO) and profile-guided optimization (PGO) can provide greater application performance. Intel Compilers support multithreaded code development through auto parallelism and OpenMP support.

Tools provided include the Intel C++ Compiler 8.1 for Windows, the Intel Debugger 8.1, the Assembler 7.0 for Itanium-based systems and integration with Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2002 & 2003 and Microsoft Visual C++ 6 (Visual Studio 98). This version of the compiler also includes two new tools, the Intel Compiler's code-coverage tool and the Intel Compiler's test-prioritization tool.

There are three variations of the Intel C++ Compiler for Windows:

  • One compiler runs on IA-32 systems and produces applications that run on IA-32 systems.
  • A second compiler runs on IA-32 systems but produces Itanium-based applications.
  • The third compiler runs on Itanium-based systems and produced Itanium-based applications.
The Intel Debugger runs on IA-32 systems and Itanium-based systems as a 32-bit application. It debugs both IA-32 applications and Itanium-based applications. If you produce Itanium-based applications you can run and debug them on an Itanium-based system, or run them on an Itanium-based system while debugging them from an IA-32 development system using the Intel Debugger remote debugging capability.

The Intel C++ Compiler provides integration into Microsoft's Integrated Development Environment (IDE) provided with Microsoft Visual C++ .NET 2002 and 2003 versions and Microsoft Visual C++ 6 on IA-32 systems. You should expect differences among the binaries to target each of these versions with the following command line options: /Qvc6, Qvc7, and Qvc7.1.
