The Intel C++ Compiler for Linux still delivers rapid development and winning performance for the full range of Intel processor-based platforms, but it is now also available in both standard and professional editions. The Professional Edition not only comes with the compiler's breadth of advanced optimization, multi-threading, and processor support, including automatic processor dispatch, vectorization, and loop unrolling, it also has highly optimized C++ templates for parallelism, math processing, and multimedia libraries.
