Overview of Advanced Optimization Features>

Software compiled using the Intel Visual Fortran Compiler for Windows benefits from advanced optimization features, a few of which are explained briefly here, with links to more complete descriptions:

• Multithreaded Application Support, including OpenMP and auto-parallelization for simple and efficient software threading. .
• Interprocedural Optimization (IPO) dramatically improves performance of small- or medium-sized functions that are used frequently, especially programs that contain calls within loops. .
• Profile-Guided Optimization (PGO) improves application performance by reducing instruction-cache thrashing, reorganizing code layout, shrinking code size, and reducing branch mispredictions. .
• Automatic Vectorizer parallelizes code and aligns data, including loop peeling to generate aligned loads and loop unrolling to match the prefetch of a full cache line.
• High-Level Optimization (HLO) delivers aggressive optimization with loop transformation and pre-fetching.
• Intel® Debugger improves the efficiency of the debugging process on code that has been optimized for Intel® architecture.
