benchmarking is a difficult topic, it has many edges like memory size, compiler options, under unix you can renice the process, so it is really difficult to make serious comparisons, what i have done in the past is to use as benchmark the same program i want to run, i compile it with diferent optimizations, data sets, and after all this test, i decide on the plataform to use.
hope it helps. raymundo Cannon, Andrew wrote:
Hi all,
I was wondering if there are any C or Fortran compilers out there that are
optimised for the Athlon and i686 architectures? I've discovered that the
GNU compilers are half the speed (literally) of the Intel Windows compilers.
(I did a test on a program that runs under Linux and Windows and the speed
on Linux was half that of Windows...) Any pointers out there?
