2 New and changed compiler options and directives Key prerequisites IBM Power Systems servers supported by AIX 6.1 and AIX V5.3 Disk space: 250 MB Planned availability dates July 11, 2008: Electronic software delivery July 25, 2008: Physical software delivery Description, V12.1 is the follow-on release to XL Fortran Enterprise Edition for AIX, V11.1., V12.1 continues to deliver additional functionality and enhancements including support for selected features of OpenMP Application Program Interface (OpenMP API) Version 3.0 for increased parallel programming capability. This release of the XL Fortran compiler also supports the latest AIX operating system, includes additional XL Fortran language-related updates, and performance tuning and optimization enhancements. Support for OpenMP API V3.0, V12.1 delivers selected features of the OpenMP API V3.0 specification. The XL Fortran implementation is based on IBM's interpretation of the OpenMP Application Program Interface Draft Version 3.0 Public Comment. The OpenMP API supports multi-platform shared-memory parallel programming in C/C++ and Fortran on all architectures, including UNIX platforms and Windows platforms. OpenMP is a portable, scalable model that gives shared-memory parallel programmers a simple and flexible interface for developing parallel applications for platforms ranging from the desktop to the supercomputer. The XL Fortran compiler support for OpenMP API V3.0 includes: Addition of task level parallelization The new OpenMP constructs TASK and TASKWAIT give users the ability to parallelize irregular algorithms, such as pointer chasing or recursive algorithms. XL Fortran supports selected features of the OpenMP TASK feature. Nesting support A COLLAPSE clause is added to the DO, and PARALLEL DO directives to allow parallelization of perfect loop nests. Multiple loops in a nest can now be parallelized. Support for the latest AIX operating system The XL Fortran compiler supports the latest AIX operating system, AIX 6.1. AIX is an open, standards-based UNIX operating system that provides the enterprise information technology infrastructure for applications developed with the compiler product. AIX 6.1 is designed to fully exploit the latest IBM POWER6 processor. XL Fortran is designed to exploit, optimize, and tune for this processor, and includes ARCH and TUNE suboptions to support the POWER6 processor. XL Fortran language-related updates Since the V8.1 release, XL Fortran has delivered many Fortran 2003 standard features. This release of XL Fortran includes updates to: The OPEN and INQUIRE statements with the ENCODING= specifier to indicate the encoding form of the file. The IEEE modules with a new constant, IEEE_OTHER_VALUE and three new functions: IEEE_SET_UNDERFLOW_MODE, IEEE_GET_UNDERFLOW_MODE, and IEEE_SUPPORT_UNDERFLOW_MODE.

3 These additional enhancements will help with the development of highly portable and standards-compliant XL Fortran applications. Performance and optimization Many sets of suboptions have been added to the STRICT compiler option to allow for more fine-grained control over optimizations and transformations controlled by the STRICT option: precision For controlling optimizations and transformations that may affect the precision of program results. exceptions For controlling optimizations and transformations that may affect the runtime exceptions generated by the program., V12.1 also includes the following new or changed performance-related options and directives: EXECUTION_FREQUENCY The EXECUTION_FREQUENCY directive marks source code that is expected to be executed very frequently or very infrequently. When optimization is enabled, the directive is used as a hint to the optimizer. -qreport The -qreport compiler option produces listing files that show how sections of code have been optimized. The listing now contains information about how many streams are created for each loop and which loops cannot be SIMD vectorized due to non-stride-one references. This information can be used to improve the performance of applications. -qsmp=omp The -qsmp compiler option enables parallelization of program code. When -qsmp=omp is in effect, some of the additional functionality of OpenMP API V3.0 is available. These new features and enhancements can assist with performance tuning and optimization of XL Fortran applications. Additional new or changed compiler options The following additional new or changed compiler options are available with this release of the compiler: -qfpp The -qfpp compiler option allows Fortran-specific preprocessing features in the C preprocessor which ships with XL Fortran. Since it is a C preprocessor option it is invoked with the -WF option as -WF, -qfpp. -qppsuborigarg The -qppsuborigarg compiler option instructs the C preprocessor to substitute original macro arguments before further macro expansion. Since it is a C preprocessor option it is invoked with the -WF option as -WF, -qppsuborigarg. -qtimestamps The -qtimestamps compiler option controls whether or not implicit compiler-generated timestamps are inserted into object files.
