This guide describes how to use The Portland Group Compiler Technology (PGI) Fortran, C, and C++ compilers and program development tools. In particular, these include the PGF77, PGF90, PGHPF, PGCC C++, and PGCC ANSI C compilers, the PGPROF profiler, and the PGDBG debugger. These compilers and tools work in conjunction with an Intel Architecture 32-bit (IA-32) assembler and linker. You can use the PGI compilers and tools to compile, debug, optimize and profile serial (uni-processor) and parallel (multi-processor) applications for IA-32 processor-based systems.
This PGI User's Guide provides operating instructions for the command-level compilation environment and general information about PGI's implementation of the Fortran, C, and C++ languages. This guide does not teach the Fortran, C, or C++ programming languages.
Audience Description
This guide is intended for scientists and engineers using the PGI compilers. To use these compilers, you should be aware of the role of high-level languages (e.g. Fortran, C, C++) and assembly-language in the software development process and should have some level of understanding of programming. The PGI compilers are available on a variety of IA-32 hardware platforms and operating systems. You need to be familiar with the basic commands available on your system.
Finally, your system needs to be running a properly installed and configured version of the compilers. For information on installing PGI compilers and tools, refer to the installation instructions.
Compatibility and Conformance to Standards
The PGI compilers run on a variety of systems and produce code that conforms to the ANSI standards for FORTRAN 77, Fortran 90, C, and C++ and includes extensions from MIL-STD-1753, VAX/VMS Fortran, IBM/VS Fortran, SGI Fortran, Cray Fortran, and K&R C. PGF77 , PGF90 and PGCC ANSI C and C++ support parallelization extensions based on the OpenMP defacto standard, and PGHPF supports data parallel extensions based on the High Performance Fortran (HPF) defacto standard. The PGI Fortran reference manuals describe Fortran statements and extensions as implemented in the PGI Fortran compilers. For further information refer to the following:

Hardware and Software Constraints
This guide describes versions of the PGI compilers that produce assembly code for IA-32 processor-based systems. Details concerning environment-specific values and defaults and system-specific features or limitations are presented in the release notes sent with the PGI compilers.
Conventions
This User's Guide uses the following conventions:
The following table lists the PGI compilers and tools and their corresponding commands:

In
general, the designation PGF90 is used to refer to The Portland Group
Compiler Technology's Fortran 90 compiler, and pgf90 is used to refer
to the command which invokes the compiler. A similar convention is used for
each of the PGI compilers and tools.
For simplicity, examples of command-line invocation of the compilers generally reference the pgf90 command and most source code examples are written in Fortran. Usage of the PGF77 compiler, whose features are a subset of PGF90, is similar. Usage of PGHPF, PGCC C++, and PGCC ANSI C is consistent with PGF90 and PGF77, but there are command-line options and features of these compilers which do not apply to PGF90 and PGF77 (and vice versa).
