NEC-LIST: Compiling NEC for a Large Number of Segments

Dear CEMists,

Just to complete the thread on the 64-bit Intel Visual Fortran compiler, the
following reply from Steve Lionel of Intel may be of interest to anyone
wanting to run NEC on a 64-bit Windows platform (I had asked exactly what
software tools were required):

Yes, we are referring to "Intel Visual Fortran Compiler 9.1 for Intel
EM64T-based Applications", which is one of the three compilers you get when
you buy Intel Visual Fortran. [Microsoft] Visual Studio 2005 is fine and is
indicated on our web pages for system requirements. Note that Microsoft
dropped .NET from the name for 2005. If you will be doing development for
Intel EM64T (now called Intel 64), VS2005 is preferable as you can use it to
do development for that platform where you can't do it in VS.NET 2002 or
2003 - you have to use command line tools only.

If you get VS2005, you don't need anything additional, but do read the
compiler installation guide carefully to avoid problems. Yes, MKL 8.1
supports Intel 64

We will be buying the items listed above (along with MS Windows XPx64) and
trying to get NEC4 using the full 4GB RAM available. We do not currently
have a pressing need for this and so it is not a priority task, but I will
keep you informed once I have something to report.

Thanks again for you replies.

Regards,

Paul Carlier
