Intel (R) Visual Fortran Compiler Professional Edition Update 6 for Windows* is a high-performance Fortran development environment from Intel Corporation. It combines Intel’s optimizing Fortran compiler with seamless Microsoft Visual Studio integration to build fast, reliable 32-bit and 64-bit Windows applications. Designed for scientists, engineers, and performance-focused developers, it delivers robust standards support (Fortran 77/90/95 and many Fortran 2003/2008 features) alongside powerful optimization and parallelization technologies.
Key capabilities include advanced optimizations (interprocedural optimization, auto-vectorization, profile-guided optimization), multi-threading support with OpenMP and automatic parallelization, and mixed-language development with C/C++ via ISO_C_BINDING. The Professional Edition integrates high-performance math libraries, such as the Intel Math Kernel Library (Intel MKL), to accelerate linear algebra, FFTs, random number generation, and related workloads. Developers benefit from Visual Studio project integration, MSBuild and command-line workflows, comprehensive diagnostics and standards checking, and smooth debugging within the familiar IDE.
Update 6 provides cumulative improvements to performance, stability, and toolchain compatibility, helping ensure reliable builds and predictable runtime behavior on modern Windows systems. Typical use cases include computational science, engineering simulation, quantitative finance, signal and image processing, and other compute-intensive applications where execution speed and numerical accuracy are critical.
