I especially like the C++0x support in the updated Intel® C++ compilers that ship in Intel® C++ Composer XE. These are working extremely well and I am impressed by the number of new features you were able to bring to the Intel C++ Compiler. I tested variadic templates, function template defaults, alternative function return syntax, named/typed enumerations, and more. One feature that I was happy to see implemented was 'SFINAE for expressions'. For library writers, this is a very powerful feature and can greatly simplify the mess of template meta-programming that is currently needed for cutting edge libraries. Keep up the good work with your excellent, and stable, compilers! | |

I recently tried the updated Intel® Cilk™ Plus in the Intel® C++ Compiler (part of Intel® Composer XE). I liked the lower overhead from using Cilk Plus spawning compared to that of OpenMP* task. I'm looking forward to using Cilk Plus Array Notations . The concepts behind Cilk Plus – simplification of adding parallelism – is really great. Thanks for offering this easy-to-use capability! | |

Standards support is important to us so I'm glad to see the extended Fortran 2003 support in the Intel® Fortran compiler that ships in Intel® Fortran Composer XE - and the Fortran 2008 additions are also welcome. We've found the Intel Fortran compiler to be stable and offer outstanding performance. Please keep the updates coming! | |

I use the Intel® Fortran compiler in Intel® Fortran Composer XE, and I very much like the new Object Browser. It makes it much easier to navigate in modules that have many routines. The compiler is stable and offers outstanding performance. We are a small company but big proponents of Intel Fortran!" | |

Intel® Fortran performs beautifully – works like a charm on my iMac. The performance is great and the compiler is very stable. Thank you for this compiler! | |

"Intel® Parallel Studio XE is a great software development tool for performance-oriented Windows*-based C++ software developers. I achieved an astonishing boost in performance by using Intel® Cilk Plus and Array Notation features in my code. If you need performance, try Intel Parallel Studio XE." |

"I was pleasantly surprised by all the analysis functionality in Intel® Parallel Studio XE for Windows, and particularly impressed with the memory and threading analysis capabilities in Intel® Inspector XE, part of Parallel Studio XE. I thought it was pretty cool that I could make changes, do another round of analysis and easily compare the 'before' and 'after effect on my application. I found the compiler in Intel® C++ Composer XE – also part of Parallel Studio XE – to be very solid. Its Guided Auto Parallelism (GAP) and Array Notation features were very helpful in adding performance. Parallel Studio XE adds a lot to Visual Studio*-based developers." |

"Intel continues to impress with me with its compilers for Windows* platform. The new Intel® Fortran Composer XE for Windows* and Intel® C++ Composer XE for Windows* offer developers great performance improvement features, such as the new Guided Auto Parallelism (GAP). Both products are nicely integrated into the newest editions of Visual Studio*. Enhancements to Intel® Math Kernel Library (Intel® MKL) and Intel® Integrated Performance Primitives (Intel® IPP) provide additional performance gains. These libraries not only provide speed, but also cover a wide range of applications and are great building-blocks for engineers and scientists. If you need performance for your C++ and/or Fortran applications, you need to try Intel software development products." |
