Introduction
The Intel Compiler of the Intel Composer XE Suite consists of tools to compile and debug C, C++ and Fortran programs:
| icc | Intel C compiler |
| icpc | Intel C++ compiler |
| ifort | Intel Fortran compiler |
| idb | Intel debugger in GUI mode |
| idbc | Intel debugger in console mode |
Aside from that the suite also includes the TBB (Threading Building Blocks) and IPP (Integrated Performance Primitives) libraries.
More information about the MPI versions of the Intel Compiler is available here:
Versions and Availability
A list of versions currently available on all bwHPC-C5-Clusters can be obtained from the
Cluster Information System CIS
{{#widget:Iframe |url=https://cis-hpc.uni-konstanz.de/prod.cis/bwUniCluster/compiler/intel |width=99% |height=700 }} On the command line interface of any bwHPC cluster you'll get a list of available versions by using the command 'module avail compiler/intel'.
$ : bwUniCluster $ module avail compiler/intel ---------------------- /opt/bwhpc/common/modulefiles ----------------------- compiler/intel/12.1 compiler/intel/14.0 compiler/intel/13.1 compiler/intel/15.0(default)
Loading the module
Default Version
You can load the default version of the Intel Compiler with the command 'module load compiler/intel'.
$ module avail compiler/intel ---------------------- /opt/bwhpc/common/modulefiles ----------------------- compiler/intel/12.1 compiler/intel/14.0 compiler/intel/13.1 compiler/intel/15.0(default) $ module load compiler/intel $ module list Currently Loaded Modulefiles: 1) compiler/intel/15.0(default)
Here, we got the "default" version 15.0 (example).
The module will try to load modules it needs to function.
If loading the module fails, check if you have already loaded the module
with 'module list'.
Specific (newer or older) Version
If you wish to load a specific (older or newer) version (if available), you can do so using e.g. 'module load compiler/intel/version' to load the version you desires.
$ module avail compiler/intel ---------------------- /opt/bwhpc/common/modulefiles ----------------------- compiler/intel/12.1 compiler/intel/14.0 compiler/intel/13.1 compiler/intel/15.0(default) $ module load compiler/intel/14.0 $ module list Currently Loaded Modulefiles: 1) compiler/intel/14.0
Intel C-Compiler "version 14.0" is loaded now (example).
Intel C-Compiler-Specific Environments
To see a list of all Intel C-Compiler environments set by the 'module load'-command use the command module show compiler/intel.

For version specific documentation see the help page of the module. For example 'module help compiler/intel' will show the information for the default version.
$ module help compiler/intel
----------- Module Specific Help for 'compiler/intel/15.0' --------
This module provides the Intel(R) compiler suite version 15.0.3 via
commands 'icc', 'icpc' and 'ifort' (version 15.0.3), the debugger 'gdb-ia' (version
7.8.3) as well as the Intel(R) Threading Building Blocks TBB (version 4.3.5)
and the Integrated Performance Primitives IPP libraries (version 8.2.2)
(for details see also 'http://software.intel.com/en-us/intel-compilers/').
The related Math Kernel Library MKL module is 'numlib/mkl/11.2.3'.
The related Intel MPI module is 'mpi/impi/5.0.3-intel-15.0'.
The Intel 'icpc' should work well with GNU compiler version 4.4 to 4.8.
Before using TBB or IPP setup the corresponding environment, e.g. for 64bit+bash
source $INTEL_HOME/tbb/bin/tbbvars.sh intel64
source $INTEL_HOME/ipp/bin/ippvars.sh intel64
Commands:
icc # Intel(R) C compiler
icpc # Intel(R) C++ compiler
ifort # Intel(R) Fortran compiler
gdb-ia # Intel version of GNU debugger
# idb is not available anymore in Intel compiler suite 2015.
Local documentation:
Man pages: man icc; man icpc; man ifort; man gdb-ia

The html-pages are very detailed and cover TBB and IPP as well as MKL.
For some Intel(R) compiler option examples, hints on how to compile 32bit code
and solutions for less common problems see the tips and troubleshooting doc:

Debugger
GUI
The Intel Debugger is an Eclipse Rich Client Platform based GUI driven Debugger with exciting features for parallelism and threading.
Start the GUI-debugger with the command 'idb [binary-file-name] &'.
Console Mode
Intel Debugger
The console-mode Intel debugger will be started using the command 'idbc [binary-file]'.

GNU for Intel Debugger
To debug applications natively on IA-32 or Intel64 Architecture systems, you may also use GDB with the following command: 'gdb-ia'.
The actual debugger usage is the same as for the GNU Project Debugger. Extensions for IA-32/Intel 64Architecture are described in the debugger documentation.

Optimizations
You can turn on various optimization options to enhance the performance of your program. Which options are the best depends on the specific program and can be determined by benchmarking your code. A command which gives good performance and a decent file size is
icc -xHost -O2 ex.c.
There are more aggressive optimization flags and levels (e.g. -O3 or -fast and implied options) but the compiled programs can get quite large due to inlining. Additionally the compilation process will probably take longer. Moreover it may happen that the compiled program is even slower -- or may require installation of additional statically-linked libraries. Such a command would be for example:
icc -fast ex.c
Profiling
Profiling an application means augmenting the compiled binary with information on execution counts per source-line (and basic blocks) -- e.g. one may see how many times an if-statement has been evaluated to true. To do so, compile your code with the profile flag:
icc -p ex.c -o ex.
Using the gprof tool, one may manually inspect execution count of each executed line of source code.
For compiler optimization, recompile Your source using
icc -prof-gen ex.c -o ex
then execute the most co]]mmon and typical use-case of your application, and then recompile using the generated profile count (and using optimization):
icc -prof-use -O2 ex.c -o ex.
Further literature
A tutorial on optimization can be found at Compiler-Essentials.pdf
and to get the different optimization options execute
icc -help opt
icc -help advanced
or the previously described catch-all option -v --help.
