Neue Version 6.2 LF95 for Linux:
March 31, 2003 - Incline Village, Nevada,
USA Lahey Computer Systems, Inc. today announced the release
of Lahey/Fujitsu Fortran 95 v6.2 for Linux. This full-featured
Fortran 95/90/77 language system includes new enhancements for
performance and ease of use. The LF95 Linux v6.2 language system
is available in two configurations: PRO and Express.
New Features of LF95 Linux v6.2:
+ Pentium 4 and Xeon optimizations
+ OpenMP v2.0 support (PRO only)
+ Allocate arrays up to 2 GB
+ New WiSK graphics package (PRO only)
+ BLAS version for Pentium 4 (PRO only)
+ LAPACK version for Pentium 4 (PRO only)
+ New SSL2 math library (PRO only)
+ New licensing options
According to Bill Lassaline, president of Lahey, "LF95 6.2 features
P4 optimizations with SSE2 instructions. We tested v6.2 optimizations
on a 1.8GHz P4 with 512 MB of PC2100 RAM, running SuSE 8.1,
using Polyhedron’s (www.polyhedron.com) Fortran benchmarks.
Specifying the new switches --tp4, --sse2, --zfm, --o2, and
-x, the 90 benchmarks ran an average of 12.4% faster and the
77 benchmarks 7.9% faster than they did when built with LF95
Linux v6.1."
