Intel C++ Compiler

Boost performance by augmenting your development process with the Intel C++ Compiler. The Intel C++ Compiler plugs right into popular development environments like Visual Studio*, Eclipse*, XCode*, and Android Studio*; The Intel C++ Compiler is compatible with popular compilers including Visual C++* (Windows*) and GCC (Linux*, OS X* and Android*).

• Boost C++ application performance
• Future-proof code by making code that scales
• Plugs right into your development environment

The Intel C++ Compiler is available in two products based on your application development needs:

• Intel Parallel Studio XE: C++/Fortran performance suite for technical computing, enterprise and HPC on Windows, Linux and OS X
• Intel System Studio: Embedded and mobile device C++ suite on Windows, Android and Linux

Intel C++ Compiler - Features

Current Features:

• Intel C++ is Compatible with Your Code and the Way You Work: Intel C++ is compatible with the GNU C++ compiler and other tools in the Android NDK and is available for use on your Windows, OS X, and Linux host-development system. This means your investment in C and C++ source code, work process, and productivity is preserved. Compatibility also makes it easy to build apps for Android devices based on Intel architecture and other architectures, such as ARM. And you can engage with the growing community of developers who are sharing their experiences on the Intel C++ and Android Applications Forums.
  
  
• Intel Offers Software Development Tools for Mobility: Developers want options when it comes to selecting development tools. In addition to the tools in the Android SDK and NDK, Intel offers Beacon Mountain (code name), which delivers a collection of Intel and third-party tools for designing, coding, and debugging apps that run on Android devices using ARM or Intel Atom processors. There is also the Intel XDK for those interested in HTML5 development. It delivers development, emulation, and test-on-device capabilities to speed development of cross-platform HTML5 apps.
  
  
• Intel C++ Delivers Easy-To-Use Performance Features: Intel C++ is focused on great app performance. In some cases, recompiling can potentially add performance. In others, using the Intel C++ Interprocedural Optimisation feature can add more performance without changes to source code. Intel C++ also features Intel Cilk Plus, which helps streamline development of vectorised code with #pragma SIMD and array notation capabilities. And there are unique, easy-to-use keywords to help simplify writing parallel code. Intel C++ brings to Android software development proven features such as the High-Performance Parallel Optimiser (HPO), which applies vectorisation, parallelisation, and loop transformations in a single pass. Performance is #1 at Intel.
  
  
• See How Intel C++ Can Help Deliver Application Performance: To develop with this release youll need a system Intel Core processor, Intel Xeon processor, or compatible processors with Windows 7 or 8, Apple OS X 10.4.8 (or later), Ubuntu 8.04 (or later), Linux systems using glibc 2.7 (or later), and the Android NDK r9. Target Android devices
  must use an Intel Atom or Intel Core processor running Android Jelly Bean.
