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

The following table illustrates how to compile your serial program:
Language	Intel Compiler	GNU Compiler
Fortran 77	`$ ifort myprogram.f -o myprogram`	`$ gfortran myprogram.f -o myprogram`
Fortran 90	`$ ifort myprogram.f90 -o myprogram`	`$ gfortran myprogram.f90 -o myprogram`
Fortran 95	`$ ifort myprogram.f90 -o myprogram`	`$ gfortran myprogram.f95 -o myprogram`
C	`$ icc myprogram.c -o myprogram`	`$ gcc myprogram.c -o myprogram`
C++	`$ icc 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".
