Quick Reference Guide to Optimization Intel® C++ and Fortran Compilers

This document is heavily based on Intel's very useful Quick-Reference Guide to Optimization with Intel Compilers version 15 for IA-32 processors, Intel® 64 processors and compatible, non-Intel processors. The intention is to highlight areas of this document that are most relevant to ICHEC's systems and users.

Intel's guide is itself very well put together and clear. Rather than try to improve on its advice the most useful sections are reproduced and many cases quoted verbatim. Advice specific to HPC and using the compiler suite within the ICHEC environment is included at certain points.
