ifort, icc, icpc Recommended Compiler Options

by Tor Johansen last modified Aug 23, 2010 01:13 PM

Recommended compiler options for getting started with the Intel icc/icpc compilers.

Below is a rather short list of compiler options for the Intel icc and icpc compilers that should help most users to get started.

-help
prints a complete (but compact) list of compiler options
-o<file> name output file
-O0
disable optimizations ==> Fast compilation
-O2 / -O
enable optimizations (DEFAULT)
-O3

enable -O2 plus more aggressive optimizations that may not improve
performance for all programs
-shared-intel

removes the "warning: feupdateenv is not implemented and will always fail"

Check the manual page, 'man icc/icpc', for more detailed information.

Take a look at the section Performance tuning for a few tips on getting started with optimization.
