I am running Windows 7 x64 on a server with a Haswell E5-1630v3 4 core processor. I am writing in Fortran 95 and using a recently purchased Intel x64 compiler. I have some questions:
1. Should hyperthreading be on or off for best execution performance with a processing applications.
2. Is there a compiler option to use all 4 cores when executing the application.
3. I assume that the /QxHost compiler option will generate AVX-2 code.
