What Others Are Saying§

"EyeWonder, Inc. tried Intel C++ Compiler 8.0 for Windows and really liked what we saw. We liked how it plugged right into our development environment, and Intel's support was very responsive. We recommend this to any C++ developer building applications for delivery on Windows-based systems using Intel processors."

Features and Benefits

Intel C++ Compiler for Windows accelerates your software development, shortens your configuration time and improves your software performance while preserving your development investment. The compiler also provides these benefits:
Support for multi-core processors along with existing Intel processors and architectures.
Advanced optimization features for the latest Intel processors to help deliver outstanding application performance.
Cross-architecture compatibility with IA-32 Microsoft Visual C++, Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 code and Microsoft Visual C++ .NET.
Security feature which reduces buffer overrun security exploit vulnerability through stack frame runtime error checking.
Plugs into Microsoft Visual Studio* development environment for IA-32 and features a preview plug-in to the Microsoft Visual Studio .NET environment.
Allows manipulation of the stack for efficient execution of floating-point (FP) instructions with the Intel C++ Compiler on IA-32.
Improves application performance dramatically by using Interprocedural Optimization (IPO) in programs containing many small- or medium-sized functions that are used frequently, especially for programs that contain calls within loops.
Takes advantage of the processor microarchitecture by more effectively using instruction paging and cache memory. Makes better branch predictions with Profile Guided Optimization (PGO) by reducing instruction-cache thrashing, reorganizing code layout and reducing branch mispredictions.
Increases development efficiency, reduces defects, and increases application performance with the Compiler Code-Coverage Tool.
Supports IA-32 with processor dispatch and Streaming Single Instruction Multiple Data (SIMD) Extensions 3, and parallelizes IA-32 code automatically to maximize underlying processor capabilities with the automatic vectorizer.
Supports processors with Intel® Extended Memory 64 Technology (Intel® EM64T).
Uses execution with predicated instructions to completely remove branches from program sequences, resulting in larger basic code blocks and eliminating associated mispredict penalties.
Improves code for Intel® Itanium® 2 microarchitecture using branch instruction, speculation and software pipelining.
Produces ANSI C/C++ and ISO C/C++ standards compatible software.
Supports the Intel® Debugger.
