The Intel Fortran compiler produces code that is indeed significantly faster than code generated with g77 or gfortran, but recent g++ (and most likely gcc) versions consistently produce code that is at least as faster or faster than code generated with Intel's C++ compiler. Bottom line: it makes a lot of sense to spend money on ifort, but not icc.
----- Original Message ---- From: "[EMAIL PROTECTED]" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Things worked better with gfortran than g77 and again better with the Intel compilers (both fortran and C(++)). When I say 'worked better' this means 'less effort to get it working' and also (particularly in case of Intel) 'faster'. ____________________________________________________________________________________ Be a PS3 game guru.
