- Yes, there is a C++ compiler on the Cray. Actually
- it is a C++ to C frontend and a C compiler. The
- site needs a license for both C++ and C.
-
- There is Automatic vectorization in the C compiler. It
- is as good as FORTRAN (same optimizer). Of course if you
- are using pointers then it may not be capable of
- disambiguating the pointer references. It may
- conditionally vectorize then or you can insert
- directives to let the optimizer know that there
- are no dependencies.
