IDL for Intel-based Macs
June 6th, 2006 by admin
IDL 6.3 is out today, but it only runs on PowerPC based Macs. An email to the RSI support staff however garnered a response. IDL should be availabel for Intel Based macs in July, possibly as early as late June.
With IRAF running on Intel thanks to the IRAF.net gang, the last piece of the Intel puzzle for astronomers should soon be in place. I’d be very interested in anyone with benchmarks of code running on Intel-Based macs once IDL is out in a month or so.
