The following table describes the supported combinations of compilation host (system on which you build the application) and application target (system on which the application runs). Not all combinations of cross-platform development are supported and some combinations may require installation of optional tools and libraries. The term "cross-platform" or "cross-compilation" refers to building an application on a platform type different from the one on which it will be run, for example, building on IA-32 to run on Intel® Itanium®-based systems. Native and Cross-Platform Development The term "native" refers to building an application that will run on the same platform that it was built on for example, building on IA-32 to run on IA-32. Intel Itanium® Refers to systems based on the Intel Itanium® 2 processor running a 64-bit operating system. Systems based on the AMD* Athlon64* and Opteron* processors running a 64-bit operating system are also supported by Intel compilers for EM64T-based applications. Intel EM64T Intel® EM64T (Intel® Extended Memory 64 Technology) refers to systems based on IA-32 processors which have 64-bit architectural extensions, running a 64-bit operating system such as Microsoft* Windows* XP Professional 圆4 Edition or Microsoft Windows Server 2003 圆4 Edition. IA-32 IA-32 (Intel Architecture, 32-bit) refers to systems based on 32-bit processors generally compatible with the Intel Pentium® II processor, (for example, Intel® Core™, Pentium® 4, Pentium® D, Celeron® or Intel® Xeon®), or processors from other manufacturers supporting the same instruction set, running a 32-bit operating system. This section explains the terms that Intel uses to describe the platforms in its documentation, installation procedures and support site. System Requirements Processor Terminology Intel compilers support three platforms: general combinations of processor and operating system type. Microsoft Visual Studio 2005 + Microsoft Platform SDK for windows server 2003 + Intel Visual Fortan 9.0/9.1, for any Windows XP 32 bits or Windows XP 64 bits.
