Which is the best Fortran compiler? We\u2019re often asked that question, but there is no single answer. All compilers have strong and weak points, and your choice should depend on finding the best match between your requirements and a compiler\u2019s strengths.\u00a0 In professional environments, it probably makes sense to make use of two or more compilers, with different strengths – e.g. one for the best run-time performance, and another for superior bug-hunting capabilities.\u00a0 Using more than one compiler also make it less likely that you will become over-dependent on details of a single vendor’s implementation.<\/p>\n

To help our customers make informed decisions, we have compiled a series of charts comparing the main contenders.\u00a0 The version numbers of the compilers used in these comparisons are listed in the Benchmark Tables.<\/p>\n
