I wanted to let you know that
I am very pleased with the Fx3 debugger (I prefer it to totalview)
and the tech support from Absoft.

I use Absoft
Pro Fortran to generate physics-based computer simulations
of natural hazards such as landslides, tsunamis and floods.

Thank you for a magnificent
GUI and the best Fortran compiler that I have
ever worked with, and by far the best customer support.

"I am writing with great
praise for Absoft's Pro Fortran. As a former Lahey EM/32 user,
I was somewhat concerned that moving to a new programming
base would require hours of down time. To my great surprise,
five minutes after installing Pro Fortran, I was up and running.
As with any new install, I had a couple of questions and sent
an email off to your tech support, hoping that maybe I'd get
an answer by the next day. I was really shocked when I received
an email response a few minutes later. This kind of support
is unsurpassed! The compiler interface, ease of use, and technical
support I've had to date tell me that I'll be an Absoft customer
from now on!"

"We thank Absoft for providing
a decent FORTRAN compiler that can accept legacy FORTRAN77
code, include C++ code, and produce executables on both Macs
and PC's. Without this ability there would be no Windows version
of the program. We want to especially thank Absoft for helping
us with the intricacies of the Absoft programming environment
and the compiler's Pgplot port (called Plplot) that Absoft
has so thoughtfully provided with their product. Consequently,
with Absoft's FORTRAN compiler installed, anyone requesting
the program source code may produce his or her own version
of the program."

"You guys have done a
masterful job with both the PC and the Mac products. I think
there may be a few more users here at Draper when I show some
of the results."

"Once again I am impressed
by your company and product. The product is received in minimal
time and installation is as easy as it can get. I wish other
companies we deal with could be as efficient as Absoft."

"The Absoft Fortran compiler
family v10 demonstrates high-performance, high-reliability
and completeness in language support for 64-bit environments.
The Absoft compilers support multiple platforms, allowing
MATFOR to excel in multi-platform environments and enhancing
performance by a noteworthy gain. Absoft Fortran compilers
are definitely a highly valued companion of MATFOR."

"The license manager lets
us put the software where the students need it. This is a
cost effective way for us to deploy Absoft across our campus.
We can have it available in our 24 hour labs as well as departmental
labs closer to where some classes are taught. The installation
went smoothly and the technical support was helpful."

"We are a developer of
products that are compatible with Absoft Pro Fortran. In particular,
we have a graphics library, a serial communication library,
and a sockets network library which are marketed for use with
the Absoft Pro Fortran compiler. We downloaded the new V9.0
compiler this morning. Installation went without any problems.
We compiled and built our libraries. No problems. We ran a
demo program which uses all the features of our libraries.
Everything functioned properly
there have been no problems
with 9.0."

"I love Absoft's devotion to
advancing the HPC software development environment. For example,
Absoft provides resources for nightly regression testing of
the open source Open MPI project. This is especially notable
since Absoft is a *compiler vendor* -- not a *network vendor*.
To me, that demonstrates a deep commitment to the overall
HPC ecosystem."

"By way of appreciation,
I must say that I really like the programming environment
you've created. I actually do most of my coding in C, but
I need to interface with legacy FORTRAN apps that I'm porting
to Windows. Those of us who just want to create clean ANSI
C and FORTRAN apps are in your debt!"

"We have been using your
SDK for just over 6 months now and we have never had a better
suite of compilers and tools. The HPC SDK on POWER delivers
ease of installation and usage, high performance, flexibility,
and reliability that is unsurpassed on the Linux ppc64 platform."

"Absoft brings their years
of experience forward to benefit Apple developers with their
companion products such as their Fx2 debugger and the Absoft

help Apple developers maximize the power of the new Intel-based

"The Absoft debugger/SDK
installed easily and efficiently under SLES 9. I performed
a quick test by compiling a simple Fortran app using the Absoft
f77 compiler, then I ran it through the debugger without any
problems."

"I forgot to tell you
that one of the valuable great feature of Absoft Pro Fortran
is that it is multiplatform; Windows, Linux, Mac OS X. I have
the two of them (Mac OS X and Windows) and I appreciate a
lot having just to shift from one machine to the other with
the same makefile (cygwin on Windows)!"

way. Absoft allows me to run my atomic physics codes on all
the OS platforms I have available to me."

"I am very, very impressed
by your service and support, and I would like to say again

"Absoft's Fortran compiler produced the fastest and most
efficiently optimized code on the two hardware platforms we
used for testing the AERMOD Air Quality Modeling code. We
discovered that the reason Absoft Fortran is faster is that
it used some optimization magic to reduce branching instruction
and TLB miss rates when compared to the competition. As a
result Absoft Fortran execution time is comfortably ahead
of the nearest competitor by 18%."

"We use the IBM HPC Toolkit at NERSC, and find it to
be invaluable in understanding the performance behavior of
our applications on our IBM pSeries systems... We especially
like the Toolkit's ability to trace back the perfomance data
to the actual source code statements of our applications in
the highly intuitive and visual framework."

"The cross platform compatibility of Absoft's compiler
range is a key factor for us. Our recent port to Absoft v10
on Win64 was very straightforward. Everything worked as expected,
including the Fortran/C linkage. We are now able to target
five different platforms running Absoft compilers, from a
common code base."
