A new XL Fortran compiler is delivered to support application development on the IBM POWER8 servers that run the little endian Linux distributions.

 

A key strength of the new XL Fortran for Linux is its ability to generate highly optimized code for execution on IBM Power Systems. The performance gain from years of IBM compiler optimization experience on XL Fortran for Linux can be seen in the release-to-release compiler improvements from the development of the IBM POWER4 processors through to the IBM POWER5, IBM POWER5+, IBM POWER6, IBM POWER6+, IBM POWER7, IBM POWER7+, and POWER8 processors. With XL Fortran for Linux, V15.1.1, compiler support on the Linux distributions such as Ubuntu 14.04 for IBM POWER8, Ubuntu 14.10 for IBM POWER8, and SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 12 for Power, includes exploitation of the little endian architecture on the POWER8 processor.

 

With the new XL Fortran compiler, you can create and port applications for execution on the next generation of IBM systems built on POWER8 technology for little endian Linux distributions, designed to handle big data and to drive modern workloads such as cloud, mobile, and social.
