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 single core and multi-core AMD64 and Intel 64
• AMD64 and Intel 64 optimizations including SSE/SSE2/SSE3/SSSE3, SSE4a/ABM, prefetching, use of extended register sets, and 64-bit addressing
• PGI Unified Binary combines into a single executable or object file code optimized for multiple AMD64 and Intel 64 processors
• Complete uniform development environment across 64-bit and 32-bit AMD or Intel processor-based systems running Linux, Mac OS X or Windows

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.
  • 64-bit: Microsoft Windows Vista, Windows Server 2008 (x64), Windows Server 2003 x64 Edition or Windows XP Professional x64 Edition.
    32-bit: Vista, Server 2003, Server 2008 (x86) or XP.
  Building 64-bit executables requires a 64-bit operating system.
