PGI CDK Cluster Development Kit for Windows now available from The Portland Group

The Portland Group announced the general availability of its PGI CDK Cluster Development Kit for Microsoft Windows Computer Cluster Server 2003 (CCS). The PGI CDK for Windows is a suite of parallel Fortran, C, and C++ compilers and development tools specifically optimized for Windows CCS. PGI compilers and tools are used widely in high-performance computing (HPC), the field of technical computing engaged in the modeling and simulation of ocean modeling, weather forecasting, seismic analysis, crash simulation and other complex processes.

Until now, the PGI CDK has been available only for Linux-based clusters based on 32-bit and 64-bit microprocessors from AMD and Intel. The Portland Group extends to these same platforms support for the Microsoft 64-bit Compute Cluster Server operating systems with this release.

The PGI CDK Cluster Development Kit includes the PGF77, PGF95, PGCC, and PGC++ compilers for the FORTRAN 77, Fortran 95, C, and C++ programming languages, respectively. All PGI compilers feature full native support for OpenMP parallel programming extensions in Fortran, C, and C++; full support for 64-bit addressing; native integrated scalar and vector SSE code generation; and a bundled version of the ACML, a highly optimized library of numeric functions for mathematical, engineering, scientific, and financial applications.
