Hi, The Intel compilers are only recommended for pre-Bulldozer AMD processors (K10: Magny-Cours, Intanbul, Barcelona, etc.). On these, PME non-bonded kernels (not the RF or plain cut-off!) are 10-30% slower with gcc than with icc. The icc-gcc difference is the smallest with gcc 4.7, typically arou

[gmx-users] Intel vs gcc compilers

Dear Gromacs developers/users, After suggestions on this mailing list to use intel over gcc compilers, we recently obtained the newest intel compilers (2013.4.183). I was kind of disappointed to find that there is no speed-up at all when comparing a gcc and intel compiled g4.6.2. Is this expect
