The Intel Fortran Compiler must be setup using a script to install important libraries paths and executable paths.

Bash Shell

source /usr/local/profile.d/ifortvars.sh

Tcsh Shell

source /usr/local/profile.d/ifortvars.csh

After the setup, ifort is the binary for the Intel Fortran Compiler.

Some Useful Compiler Options

• To generate very optimized code, try  compilation with "-03" or  "-fast" flags.
• Use  "-w" to disable all warnings,  "-Wall" to enable all warnings.
• "-openmp" to generate code based on OpenMP directives
• "-static" prevents linking with shared libraries (everything is statically linked)
• setup the intel compilers and issue ifort --help to see the full list of options.
