Currently '#pragma omp simd' overrides FP value and exception safe settings. The following options change that legacy behaviour and produce value and exception safe code even for SIMD loops.

  • Qsimd-honor-fp-model[-]: Tells the compiler to obey the selected floating-point model when vectorizing SIMD loops
  • Qsimd-serialize-fp-reduction[-]: Tells the compiler to serialize floating-point reduction when vectorizing SIMD loops.


OpenMP SIMD specification and FP model flag can contradict in the requirement. Compiler’s default is to follow OpenMP specification and vectorize the loop. With this new flag, programmer can override so that the compiler follows the FP model flag instead and serialize the loop
Note1: When –qsimd-honor-fp-model is used and OpenMP SIMD reduction specification is the only thing causing serialization of entire loop addition of qsimd-serialize-fp-reduction will result in vectorization of the entire loop except reduction calculation which will be serialized.
Note2: This option does not affect auto-vectorization of loops.

code names supported :cascadelake, kabylake, coffeelake, amberlake, whiskeylake.

  • Explicit syntax for dynamic alignment
    #pragma vector dynamic_align[(pointer)] #pragma vector nodynamic_align

    With no pointer specified, compiler behaves normally (automatically decides which pointer has to be aligned or doesn’t generate peel loop at all). With pointer specified, compiler generates peel loop for that pointer. With nodynamic_align clause, the compiler will not generate a peel loop.

  • #pragma vector vectorlength(vl1,vl2, . , vln)
    #pragma vector vectorlength(vl1,vl2, . , vln)

    Vectorizer chooses best vector length from the list according to cost model. If all vector length from the list are not profitable, the loop remains scalar. This pragma doesn’t force vectorization, thus it can be safely used for all loops.

Language features from the OpenMP* Technical Report 6 : Version 5.0 Preview 2 specifications are now supported.

  • Explicit syntax for inclusive scan *
    #pragma omp simd[parallel] scan(scan-op: item-list)
    #pragma omp inclusive_scan(item-list)
  • Explicit syntax for exclusive scan *
    #pragma omp simd[parallel] scan(scan-op: item-list)
    #pragma omp inclusive_scan(item-list)

    Prefix sum is computed correctly during vector execution
    *The syntax will be renamed in product release
  • UDI for OpenMP* Parallel pragmas #pragma omp declare induction ( induction-id : induction-type :step-type : inductor ) [collector( collector )]

Support Deprecated

Intel® Cilk™ Plus is a deprecated feature since Intel® C++ Compiler 18.0. For more information see Migrate Your Application to use OpenMP* or Intel® Threading Building Blocks (Intel® TBB) Instead of Intel® Cilk™ Plus

Support Removed

Removed support for 32 bit applications on macOS

Starting with the 19.0 release of the Intel® C++ Compiler, macOS 32-bit applications are no longer supported. If you want to compile 32-bit applications, you should use an earlier version of the compiler and Xcode* 9.4 or earlier.

Known Limitations

Tachyon deprecated from samples

In macOS 10.15, apple removed openGL framework, hence PSXE samples such as Tachyon uses openGL is also deprecated.

Xcode* 10 and Xcode* 11, new build system not supported

The Xcode 10 Beta introduced a “New Build System (Default)” which currently do not support custom compilers.You will see the error 'no rule to process file' when building an Intel C++ Compiler project within XCode 10 and Xcode 11. To use Intel compilers, switch to “Legacy Build System” in Project Settings.

Slow License Checkout macOS* 10.15 Catalina*

The license checkout performance on macOS Catalina 10.15 is roughly 1.1 seconds per source file. This is a 10x slowdown on this OS compared to previous versions of macOS. We are evaluating our license technology for a solution but at this time we have not root caused the issue. If this slowdown is an issue, please revert back to the previous macOS 10.14 where this slowdown does not occur.

Parallel STL

unseq and par_unseq policies only have effect with compilers that support '#pragma omp simd' or '#pragma simd. Parallel and vector execution is only supported for a subset of algorithms if random access iterators are provided, while for the rest execution will remain serial. Depending on a compiler, zip_iterator may not work with unseq and par_unseq policies.

Intel C++ Compiler, also known as icc or icl, is a group of C and C++compilers from Intel available for Windows, Mac, Linux, FreeBSD[3] and Intel-based Android devices.

Free c compiler for mac

Overview[edit]

The compilers generate optimized code for IA-32 and Intel 64 architectures, and non-optimized code for non-Intel but compatible processors, such as certain AMD processors. A specific release of the compiler (11.1) is available for development of Linux-based applications for IA-64 (Itanium 2) processors.

The 14.0 compiler added support for Intel-based Android devices and optimized vectorization and SSE Family instructions for performance. The 13.0 release added support for the Intel Xeon Phi coprocessor. It continues support for automatic vectorization, which can generate SSE, SSE2, SSE3, SSSE3, SSE4, AVX and AVX2SIMD instructions, and the embedded variant for Intel MMX and MMX 2.[4] Use of such instruction through the compiler can lead to improved application performance in some applications as run on IA-32 and Intel 64 architectures, compared to applications built with compilers that do not support these instructions.

Intel compilers support Cilk Plus (removed in 19.1), which is a capability for writing vectorized and parallel code that can be used on IA-32 and Intel 64 processors or which can be offloaded to Xeon Phi coprocessors. They also continue support for OpenMP 4.0, symmetric multiprocessing, automatic parallelization, and Guided Auto-Parallization (GAP). With the add-on Cluster OpenMP capability, the compilers can also automatically generate Message Passing Interface calls for distributed memory multiprocessing from OpenMP directives.

Intel C++ is compatible with Microsoft Visual C++ on Windows and integrates into Microsoft Visual Studio. On Linux and Mac, it is compatible with GNU Compiler Collection (GCC) and the GNU toolchain. Intel C++ Compiler for Android is hosted on Windows, OS X or Linux and is compatible with the Android NDK, including gcc and the Eclipse IDE. Intel compilers are known for the application performance they can enable as measured by benchmarks, such as the SPEC CPU benchmarks.

Optimizations[edit]

Intel compilers are optimized to computer systems using processors that support Intel architectures. They are designed to minimize stalls and to produce code that executes in the fewest possible number of cycles. The Intel C++ Compiler supports three separate high-level techniques for optimizing the compiled program: interprocedural optimization (IPO), profile-guided optimization (PGO), and high-level optimizations (HLO). The Intel C++ compiler in the Parallel Studio XE products also supports tools, techniques and language extensions for adding and maintaining application parallelism on IA-32 and Intel 64 processors and enables compiling for Intel Xeon Phi processors and coprocessors.

Profile-guided optimization refers to a mode of optimization where the compiler is able to access data from a sample run of the program across a representative input set. The data would indicate which areas of the program are executed more frequently, and which areas are executed less frequently. All optimizations benefit from profile-guided feedback because they are less reliant on heuristics when making compilation decisions.

High-level optimizations are optimizations performed on a version of the program that more closely represents the source code. This includes loop interchange, loop fusion, loop fission, loop unrolling, data prefetch, and more.[5]

Interprocedural optimization applies typical compiler optimizations (such as constant propagation) but using a broader scope that may include multiple procedures, multiple files, or the entire program.[6]

David Monniaux has criticized Intel's compiler for applying, by default, floating-point optimizations which are not allowed by the C standard and which require special flags with other compilers such as gcc.[7] Company law by luqman baig pdf free.

Architectures[edit]

  • x86-64 (Intel 64 and AMD64)
  • IA-64 (Itanium 2)

Description of packaging[edit]

Except for the Intel Bi-Endian C++ Compiler, Intel C++ compilers are not available in standalone form. They are available in suites:

Intel C++ Compiler Price

  • Intel Parallel Studio XE for development of technical, enterprise, and high-performance computing applications on Windows, Linux and Mac
  • Intel System Studio for development of system and app software for embedded systems or devices running Windows, Linux or Android

Flags and manuals[edit]

Documentation can be found at the Intel Software Technical Documentation site.

WindowsLinux, macOS & FreeBSDComment
/Od-O0No optimization
/O1-O1Optimize for size
/O2-O2Optimize for speed and enable some optimization
/O3-O3Enable all optimizations as O2, and intensive loop optimizations
/arch:SSE3/-msse3Enables SSE3, SSE2 and SSE instruction sets optimizations for non-Intel CPUs[10]
/fast-fastShorthand. On Windows this equates to '/O3 /Qipo /QxHost /Opred-div-' ; on Linux '-O3 -ipo -static -xHOST -no-prec-div'. Note that the processor specific optimization flag (-xHOST) will optimize for the processor compiled on—it is the only flag of -fast that may be overridden
/Qprof-gen-prof_genCompile the program and instrument it for a profile generating run
/Qprof-use-prof_useMay only be used after running a program that was previously compiled using prof_gen. Uses profile information during each step of the compilation process

Debugging[edit]

The Intel compiler provides debugging information that is standard for the common debuggers (DWARF 2 on Linux, similar to gdb, and COFF for Windows). The flags to compile with debugging information are /Zi on Windows and -g on Linux. Debugging is done on Windows using the Visual Studio debugger and, on Linux, using gdb.

While the Intel compiler can generate a gprof compatible profiling output, Intel also provides a kernel level, system-wide statistical profiler called Intel VTune Profiler. VTune can be used from a command line or thru an included GUI on Linux or Windows. It can also be integrated into Visual Studio on Windows, or Eclipse on Linux). In addition to the VTune profiler, there is Intel Advisor that specializes in vectorization optimization, offload modeling, flow graph design and tools for threading design and prototyping.

Intel also offers a tool for memory and threading error detection called Intel Inspector XE. Regarding memory errors, it helps detect memory leaks, memory corruption, allocation/de-allocation of API mismatches and inconsistent memory API usage. Regarding threading errors, it helps detect data races (both heap and stack), deadlocks and thread and synch API errors.

Reception[edit]

Intel and third parties have published benchmark results to substantiate performance leadership claims over other commercial, open-source and AMD compilers and libraries on Intel and non-Intel processors. Intel and AMD have documented flags to use on the Intel compilers to get optimal performance on Intel and AMD processors.[11][12] Nevertheless, the Intel compilers have been known to use sub-optimal code for processors from vendors other than Intel. For example, Steve Westfield wrote in a 2005 article at the AMD website:[13]

Intel 8.1 C/C++ compiler uses the flag -xN (for Linux) or -QxN (for Windows) to take advantage of the SSE2 extensions. For SSE3, the compiler switch is -xP (for Linux) and -QxP (for Windows). . With the -xN/-QxN and -xP/-QxP flags set, it checks the processor vendor string—and if it's not 'GenuineIntel', it stops execution without even checking the feature flags. Ouch!

The Danish developer and scholar Agner Fog wrote in 2009:[14]

The Intel compiler and several different Intel function libraries have suboptimal performance on AMD and VIA processors. The reason is that the compiler or library can make multiple versions of a piece of code, each optimized for a certain processor and instruction set, for example SSE2, SSE3, etc. The system includes a function that detects which type of CPU it is running on and chooses the optimal code path for that CPU. This is called a CPU dispatcher. However, the Intel CPU dispatcher does not only check which instruction set is supported by the CPU, it also checks the vendor ID string. If the vendor string is 'GenuineIntel' then it uses the optimal code path. If the CPU is not from Intel then, in most cases, it will run the slowest possible version of the code, even if the CPU is fully compatible with a better version.

This vendor-specific CPU dispatching (function multi-versioning) decreases the performance on non-Intel processors of software built with an Intel compiler or an Intel function library – possibly without the knowledge of the programmer. This has allegedly led to misleading benchmarks,[14] including one incident when changing the CPUID of a VIA Nano significantly improved results.[15] A legal battle between AMD and Intel over this and other issues has been settled in November 2009.[16] In late 2010, AMD settled a US Federal Trade Commissionantitrust investigation against Intel.[17]

The FTC settlement included a disclosure provision where Intel must:[18]

Best C Compiler For Mac

publish clearly that its compiler discriminates against non-Intel processors (such as AMD's designs), not fully utilizing their features and producing inferior code.

In compliance with this rule, Intel added an 'optimization notice' to its compiler descriptions stating that they 'may or may not optimize to the same degree for non-Intel microprocessors' and that 'certain optimizations not specific to Intel microarchitecture are reserved for Intel microprocessors'. It says that:[19]

Intel's compilers may or may not optimize to the same degree for non-Intel microprocessors for optimizations that are not unique to Intel microprocessors. These optimizations include SSE2, SSE3, and SSSE3 instruction sets and other optimizations. Intel does not guarantee the availability, functionality, or effectiveness of any optimization on microprocessors not manufactured by Intel. Microprocessor-dependent optimizations in this product are intended for use with Intel microprocessors. Certain optimizations not specific to Intel microarchitecture are reserved for Intel microprocessors.
