Sorry for the massive delay in replying; I'm going through my inbox this morning and finding old mails that I initially missed. :-\

I cannot reproduce the > problem with a hello world test. -O3 is notorious for both: - exposing compiler bugs - exposing application bugs I just ran across a -O3 compiler bug in gcc 4.8.1 yesterday. But more often, it reveals bugs in the application -- something you thought was safe/correct, but actually isn't, and when a compiler makes an aggressive optimization around it, the Badness is revealed. > when using --debug-daemons I see the following behavior (PATHTOAPPLICATION= > my path to the application) I'm not quite sure from the context of your mail: are you saying that the difference is whether you compile *your application* with -O3 vs. -O0, or whether you compile *Open MPI* with -O3 vs. -O0? I'd also suggest ensuring that you have the latest release of the Intel compiler for your series. The Intel compiler is like every other piece of software: it has bugs. If you have Intel compiler 12, for example, ensure you have the latest version of the Intel compiler 12 so that you get all the latest bug fixes, etc. We've seen this kind of thing many times from the different compiler suites. -- Jeff Squyres jsquy...@cisco.com For corporate legal information go to: http://www.cisco.com/web/about/doing_business/legal/cri/
