PGI Workstation is PGI's single-user scientific and engineering compilers and tools product. PGI Workstation is available in three language versions:

• PGI Fortran Workstation—Fortran only
• PGI C/C++ Workstation—C and C++ only
• PGI Fortran/C/C++ Workstation—combined Fortran and C/C++

PGI Workstation Complete is PGI's flagship scientific and engineering workstation compiler bundle. It includes all features from both PGI Fortran Workstation and PGI C++ Workstation. PGI Fortran Workstation, The Portland Group's native parallelizing/optimizing FORTRAN 77, Fortran 90/95 and HPF compilers for 64-bit x64 and 32-bit x86 processor-based Linux, Apple Mac OS X and Microsoft Windows workstations, provide the features, quality, and reliability necessary for developing and maintaining advanced scientific and technical applications. PGI C++ Workstation includes The Portland Group's native parallelizing/optimizing OpenMP C++ and ANSI C compilers. The C++ compiler closely tracks the proposed ANSI standard and is compatible with cfront versions 2 and 3. All C++ functions are compatible with Fortran and C functions, so you can compose programs from components written in all three languages.

A partial list of technical features supported includes the following:

• PGF95 native OpenMP and auto-parallel Fortran 90/95 compiler
• PGF77 native OpenMP and auto-parallel FORTRAN 77 compiler
• PGHPF native data parallel compiler with full HPF language support (Linux only)
• PGCC OpenMP and auto-parallel ANSI and K&R C compiler
• PGC++ OpenMP and auto-parallel C++ compiler
• PGDBG OpenMP and MPI parallel graphical debugger
• PGPROF OpenMP and MPI parallel graphical performance profiler
• Full 64-bit support on multi-core AMD64 and Intel 64
• and many more...

Beginning with PGI 2010, PGI expanded its product line to include offerings for either x64+GPU or x64 only platforms. "PGI Accelerator" products—the x64+GPU platform products—include support for the directive-based PGI Accelerator programming model and from within the PGI Accelerator Fortran compiler, support for CUDA Fortran. PGI Accelerator compilers are supported on all Intel and AMD x64 processor-based systems with CUDA-enabled NVIDIA GPUs running Linux, Mac OS X or Windows.

PGI Accelerator compilers (including CUDA Fortran) are contained in all PGI 2010 or later.

• Processor: 64-bit AMD64, 64-bit Intel 64 or 32-bit x86 processor-based workstation or server with one or more single core or multi-core AMD Opteron, Phenom, Athlon or Turion, or Intel Pentium II/III/4/M/D, Centrino, Core, Core 2 or Xeon microprocessors.
• Accelerator (optional): NVIDIA CUDA-enabled GPU with compute capability 1.0 or later.
• Operating System:
  • Red Hat Linux 9.0 or higher, SUSE Linux Enterprise Server (SLES) 9 or higher, SUSE 9.0 or higher, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3 or higher, or Fedora Core 4 or higher. Fully interoperable with newer versions of Linux which use kernel revision 2.4 and glibc 2.3.2 or higher.
  • Apple Mac OS X version 10.4.11 or higher (64-bit and 32-bit) and Xcode 2.5 or higher.
