Absoft Corporation was an American software company active from 1980 to 2022. They were best known for their set of Fortran compilers for Microsoft Windows, Apple Macintosh, and Linux operating systems.[1] The compilers are source code compatible across platforms.[2]

  • Absoft Pro Fortran on 64-bit platforms supports both 32-bit and 64-bit executables; the user selects which format that the compiler will produce.
  • Linux compilers are available in either 32-bit or 64-bit versions. The 32-bit version produces only 32-bit executables.

All are bundled with a graphical debugger and an integrated development environment. Single thread and parallel multithread support is controlled by the user and includes five optimization levels, OpenMP, Speed Math levels 0 through 9, and other advanced capabilities.

On September 30, 2022, Absoft ceased operations.[3]
