Compiling Serial Programs

A serial program is a single process which executes as a sequential stream of instructions on one processor core. Compilers capable of serial programming are available for C, C++, and versions of Fortran.

Here are a few sample serial programs:

• serial_hello.f
• serial_hello.f90
• serial_hello.f95
• serial_hello.c

• serial_hello.cpp

  To load a compiler, enter one of the following:

$ module load intel
$ module load gcc

$ ifx  myprogram.f -o myprogram

$ gfortran myprogram.f -o myprogram

$ ifx  myprogram.f90 -o myprogram

$ gfortran myprogram.f90 -o myprogram

$ ifx  myprogram.f90 -o myprogram

$ gfortran myprogram.f95 -o myprogram

$ icx  myprogram.c -o myprogram

$ gcc myprogram.c -o myprogram

$ icpx  myprogram.cpp -o myprogram

$ g++ myprogram.cpp -o myprogram

The Intel and GNU compilers will not output anything for a successful compilation. Also, the Intel compiler does not recognize the suffix ".f95".
