Hi Vladimir, Thanks for the feedback! Very interesting.
> Intel optimization compiler team (besides researchers) is much bigger than >whole GCC community. That's a surprise to me. I have to say that the GCC community has done amazing work, as you came within factor 1.4 (gfortran) and 1.6 (g++ compiling converted code) of ifort performance, which is close enough for our purposes, and I think those of many people. To add to this, icpc vs. g++ is a tie overall, with g++ even having a slight advantage. Really great work! Ralf
