The XL Fortran Advanced Edition Version 10.1 compiler is supported on several Linux distributions. See the IBM XL Fortran Advanced Edition V10.1 for Linux Installation Guide and README file for a list of supported distributions and requirements.
The compiler, its generated object programs, and run-time library will run on all POWER3(TM), POWER4(TM), POWER5(TM), PowerPC 970, and PowerPC(R) systems with the required software, disk space, and virtual storage.
The POWER3, POWER4, POWER5, or POWER5+(TM) processor is a type of PowerPC. In this document, any statement or reference to the PowerPC also applies to the POWER3, POWER4, POWER5, or POWER5+ processor.
To take maximum advantage of different hardware configurations, the compiler provides a number of options for performance tuning based on the configuration of the machine used for executing an application.
