PGI Accelerator Fortran/C/C++ Workstation for Linux 1 Year Support/Maint (Edu) Main Picture


This is a one-year support and maintenance program for PGI Workstation. Specifically, this is the annual support for the educational license version, which can only be used by those actively involved in academic work at a higher education institute.

Developer: PGI 709-218AL-WSA0-000

Includes annual support and maintenance

PGI Fortran Workstation includes the native parallelizing/optimizing Fortran 2003 compiler with support for OpenMP 3.1 directive-based parallel programming for multi-core CPUs, and OpenACC 2.0 directive-based parallel programming for accelerators. The PGI Fortran compiler includes CUDA Fortran extensions targeting NVIDIA CUDA-enabled GPUs.

PGI C/C++ Workstation includes the native parallelizing/optimizing ANSI C99 and GNU-compatible C++ compilers. Both compilers implement full OpenMP 3.1 pragma-based parallel programming for multi-core CPUs, and OpenACC 2.0 pragma-based parallel programming for accelerators. The PGI C++ compiler is substantially compatible with GNU GCC 4.8 g++ and includes full support for NVIDIA CUDA C extensions targeting multi-core CPUs as a compute device (CUDA-x86). All C++ functions are compatible with PGI-compiled Fortran and C functions, so you can compose programs from components written in all three languages.

PGI Workstation includes the OpenMP and MPI enabled PGDBG parallel debugger and PGPROF performance profiler that can debug and profile up to eight local MPI processes. PGI Workstation for Linux and OS X includes a precompiled MPICH message passing library and precompiled LAPACK and ScaLAPACK libraries. PGI Workstation for Windows includes MS-MPI and a precompiled LAPACK library. An IMSL library for Windows is also available separately.

PGI Workstation includes a perpetual single user node-locked license for Linux, Apple OS X or Microsoft Windows. Volume packs of five or more single user node-locked licenses are also available. Volume packs are multi-platform; licenses may be any mix of operating system up to the maximum count. PGI Server offers the same features as PGI Workstation but includes a multi-user network floating license. The optional PGI Subscription Service provides for ongoing access to updates and other benefits.

PGI Workstation for both OS X and Windows consists of command-level versions of the PGI compilers and both command-level and graphical versions of the PGDBG debugger and PGPROF performance profiler. An integrated development environment (IDE) is neither provided nor supported. As a separate product, PGI Visual Fortran fully integrates PGI Fortran compilers and tools into Microsoft Windows using Microsoft Visual Studio. PGI Visual Fortran is included with all PGI Workstation products for Windows containing Fortran.

This product targets 64-bit x64 and 32-bit x86 workstations with one or more single core or multi-core microprocessors. PGI Workstation is available either with or without accelerator support. See the pricing section for details.
