We’re trying to decide whether to get the newest pgfortran compiler. Currently we’re using an old version - 10.2. Can someone list the advantages of switching to version 12.9, or point me in the direction of a list of differences? For example, I know that we can’t use the maxregcount option with v 10.2, but I assume there are many more differences I’m not aware of.
Since 10.2 we’ve added support for Fortran 2003, OpenACC, AVX instructions (Sandy-Bridge/Bulldozer), CUDA 4.2, CUDA-x86, many CUDA Fortran improvements, nested OpenMP parallelism, Eclipse integration for C/C++ on Linux, and new OS versions. Lots of small incremental improvements and bug fixes as well.
