Overview
Intel® Cluster Toolkit Compiler Edition 3.1

Intel® Cluster Toolkit Compiler Edition 3.2 provides an extensive software package containing Intel® C++ and Intel® Fortran Compilers for Intel® IA-32, IA-64, and Intel® 64 architectures, PLUS it includes all the Intel® Cluster Tools that help you develop, analyze and optimize performance of parallel applications on Linux or Windows CCS clusters. By combining all the compilers and tools for all Intel architectures into one license package, Intel can provide single installation, interoperability, and support for the best in class tools at an incredibly low package price.


Features

Bundling Compilers and Cluster Tools for Intel® IA-32, IA-64, and Intel® 64 architectures, the Intel® Cluster Toolkit Compiler Edition 3.2 provides Windows or Linux versions of the Intel Compilers for C++ and Fortran in addition to the Intel® Cluster Tools for a software package unrivaled by any other offerings.

The Intel Cluster Toolkit Compiler Edition 3.2 license provides access and support for the following programs on either Windows CCS or Linux:

Intel® C++ Compiler 11.0

Intel® Fortran Compiler 11.0

Intel® MPI Library 3.2

Intel® Trace Analyzer and Collector 7.2

Intel® Math Kernel Library 10.1

Intel® MPI Benchmarks 3.2

Intel® Debugger 11.0 (except with Windows Intel® MPI Library applications)
The latest releases of all the Cluster Tools have increased performance and ease-of use while improving interoperability, scalability, and the number of user options.

Intel Cluster Toolkit Compiler Edition 3.2 integrates your compiler of choice with the Cluster Tools, provides easy installation, and comes with extensive documentation. With a valid product serial number for the Intel Cluster Toolkit Compiler Edition, you can register and/or login to the Intel® Software Development Products Registration Center and download the package and updates for one year from the date of purchase.
