1 Introduction

This page aims to keep track of the versions of third-party applications vs OpenFOAM versions/variants.

If you have specific questions that are not answered here, please use the related forum thread: New wiki page: Compatibility Matrix of OpenFOAM vs third party applications


2 OpenFOAM Foundation

2.1 GNU Compiler Collection (GCC)

Description
This is the standard compiler currently used by Linux distributions, as well as the usual one used for OpenFOAM.

Note: unconfirmed indicates that although it might build, it doesn't mean that it will work as intended.


2.2 Intel C++ Compiler (ICC)

Description
This compiler is free for non-commercial users on Linux. Yields good/very good performance on Intel processors.
Comments
Latest GCC versions (4.5.0 and above) have been proven themselves to be on par or better than ICC.
It's not advisable to use ICC on non-Intel (AMD, Via, etc) machines - source: ICC on Wikipedia, section Criticism. But it's possible to use it if the option -SSE3 is not used:

Compatibility matrix
OpenFOAM \ GCC 4.2.y 4.3.y 4.4.y 4.5.y 4.6.y 4.7.y 4.8.y 4.9.y

OF Version 31ext.png unknown unknown unknown all all all unknown unknown


  1. ↑ Compiling with GCC 4.7 requires two details: having the latest 1.6-ext commit, as well as a couple of hacks to make sure that things build as intended. Both can indications can be found in the instructions of installing 1.6-ext on Ubuntu 13.04, which uses GCC 4.7.3.
