Compiling and Linking for Optimization

By default, all Fortran source files are separately compiled into individual object files.

If you want to allow full interprocedural optimizations to occur, you must use the -ipo (Linux OS and Mac OS X) or /Qipo (Windows OS) option.

By default, compilation is done with -O2 (Linux OS and Mac OS X) or /O2 (Windows). If you want to see if your code will benefit from some added optimizations, use O3. These aggressive optimizations may or may not improve your code speed.
