I have been trying to install a GPU-based scientific software, that necessitated the need for PGI compilers. And since Google Colab has a GPU I would like to use that as a platform to install the software. But I'm not sure if PGI compiler is preinstalled on Google Colab. If it is then how can I check that?
Thanks in advance.

Presumably, by now, people have successfully installed boost libraries on MacOS devices with M1 processors, building in native mode.
Would anyone like to discuss their experiences with this, and if there are any particular issues which need to be handled?
I want to use TensorFlow on Windows (Win 10) with a AMD GPU.
If I google, there are a lot discussions and sources but I just couldn't figure out what's the best way to do this at the moment.
Could someone write a short installation instruction that he thinks is the best and most up-to-date way of doing so?
Tensorflow officially only supports CUDA, which is a proprietary NVIDIA technology. There is one unofficial implementation using openCL here which could work, or you could try using Google colab
I am new to GCC, don't know much about it. I want to install it on my Windows 7 64bit PC and use it for C, C++ and Java. The latest version is GCC-4.8.0. In their mirror links, I am getting option to download gcc 4.8.0.tar.bz2 and gcc 4.8.0.tar.gz and md5.sum. Please guide me, how should i proceed, to use GCC
On Windows, easiest way to get gcc is to install MinGW.
Most recent MinGW release has support for gcc 4.8 as well - but it may be not very stable at the moment.
These files are source archive files of the latest released GCC compiler.
As a newbie, you probably want a binary distribution, e.g. mingw or cygwin on Windows. (Then you might get an earlier version of GCC. 4.8 has just been released)
Alternatively, consider switching to Linux and install it on your machine. It will teach you a big lot (and almost all of Linux is free software so you can get its source code and study it).
Using Linux and GCC also gives you a significant advantage: you could use GCC plugins, e.g. develop your own MELT extension (MELT is a domain specific language to extend GCC, implemented as a [meta-]plugin). Neither Mingw nor Cygwin support GCC plugins.
PS. compiling GCC from source code is not easy for a newbie.
this is an older question but this was harder to search for than it should have been so I will post it here, http://gcc.gnu.org/wiki/WindowsBuilding is a quick guide to getting gcc4.8 running on windows. I am about to dive in to building it on my old windows-xp box. wish me luck.
I use codeblocks . You can follow this Youtube video for instructions:). Hope it helps!

You should really check out Code::Blocks (http://codeblocks.org/).
It's a good IDE which is easily set up to get you started.
To support Windows 64-bit though you should not use the MinGW compiler that comes with it. Instead get a separate binary of MinGW-w64 with 64-bit support.
You can get it from http://winlibs.com where you can also find tips on how to configure both Windows 32-bit and 64-bit compilers.
I am planning on harvesting my gaming HTPCs spare cycles for compiling my software using distcc, but I will need to set up a cross compiler. The problem is that Google is sadly lacking in relevant information.
I think Cygwin is the purest form of evil, but is the easiest way of doing what you want.
You will just have to install the correct version of gcc from the cygwin installer.

I'm developing a GPS application under Linux, with ARM7 microprocessor.
Which compiler do you recommend? Do you know if there is any toolkit with libraries ready to develop GPS applications?
A friend of mine recommended gcc... what do you guys think about it?
Thank you
I don't think that the compiler matters that much. What is more important is your precise understanding of the library you are using, or of the actual device you are invoking.
However, I will recommend GCC, and I do recommend using a very recent version of GCC. For instance, GCC 4.6.2 is appearing these days, and there have been lot of work recently put in GCC to improve its perfomance for ARM processors. So, if possible, us a 4.6 GCC, not a 4.3 one (some hardware vendors don't give recent GCC with their ARM development kit; you should consider in that case building your GCC (and perhaps binutils) from their source code.
I know nothing about GPS itself.
