AMD Athlon with Intel Fortran Compiler

[Phillip Matz]

The 10-30% improvement you observed, was that compared to SSE code
generated by the latest PGI compilers (Rev 3.3 with SSE for AMD) or an
older PGI compiler that doesn't support SSE?

Regards,

Phil Matz

I ran the Intel Fortran Compiler on an dual 1.2 Ghz AMD system. I was
seen speed improvements of 10-30% over the Portland Group compiler on 3
different fortran 77 codes. I was using the SSE instructions when
compiling.

The Intel compilers are fast, they are just a bit quirky sometimes. They
complain about Fortran 77 and Fortran 90 syntax unless you tell it not
too.  It didn't like some of the code and would complain with internal
compiler errors until I reorganized some code.  I never got my Fortran
90 program to run with optmization.  I don't think it is all F90 codes
just mine had some syntax that it couldn't digest.
