Ideas about Supporting Platforms

Platforms

• Macintosh OS X
  • was 40% of the VLA submissions in a recent proposal deadline
  • issues with 64-bit support on the G5?

• Red Hat Enterprise

Compilers

• Mac Intel needs the Intel FORTRAN compiler
• Otherwise, GCC toolchain; GCC and G77
  • g77 not possible on (native) Mac Intel
  • explore option of building Mac OSX universal binary on PPC with g77
  • Migration of GCC 4.1 to gfortran is problematic; lots of codes (PGPLOT) will not compile via gfortran.
