PGI C++ Server

C++ and ANSI C for 64-bit x64 and 32-bit x86 processor-based servers.

PGI C++ Server is PGI's C and C++ only compiler bundle for multi-user systems and workgroups. PGI C++ Server includes multi-user network floating licenses for both the PGI C and PGI C++ compilers, for PGDBG® OpenMP parallel graphical debugger and for PGPROF® OpenMP parallel graphical performance profiler.

PGI C++ Server includes The Portland Group's native parallelizing/optimizing C++ and ANSI C compilers for 64-bit and 32-bit Linux and Windows servers and workstations, The C++ compiler closely tracks the proposed ANSI standard and is compatible with cfront versions 2 and 3. The PGI C++ Server compilers are native parallelizing C++ and ANSI C compilers. All C++ functions are compatible with Fortran and C functions, so you can compose programs from components written in all three languages. C++ function overloading, function inlining, multiple inheritance, and templates are all fully supported. A common set of OpenMP parallelization pragmas across C and C++ provide for simple and effective localized parallel programming without the need for explicit threads calls. Every copy of PGI C++ Server ships with standard C++ STL library binaries.

The PGI C++ Server compilers and OpenMP debugger/profiler allow multiple users to compile, debug and profile high performance parallel C or C++ applications on any compatible computer networked to the system on which the PGI compilers are installed (a network-floating license).

PGI C++ Server for Linux includes debugging and profiling support for up to four local MPI processes.

PGI C++ Server for Mac 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.

* PGI Server for Microsoft Subsystem for UNIX-based Applications (SUA) and Services for UNIX (SFU) are available as part of PGI's UNIX to Windows migrations services. Please contact PGI sales for more information.

This product targets 64-bit x64 and 32-bit x86 servers with one or more single core or multi-core microprocessors running Linux, Mac OS X or Windows.
