The variety of optimizations used by the Intel® compiler enable you to quickly enhance the application performance. Each optimization is performed by a set of options and, in some cases, tools. The options and tools are discussed in the following optimization-related sections:
In addition to optimizations invoked by the compiler command-line options, the compiler includes features which enhance your application performance such as directives, intrinsics, run-time library routines and various utilities. These features are discussed in the Optimization Support Features section.
