It would be interesting to see this same benchmark done on an Intel C compiler.
Its a bit of a misnomer to compare Intel Fortran to GNU C. GNU C should probably be compared to GNU F77. A good thing to think about is how compiler implementation and optimization will impact performance. **************************** Greg Sonnenfeld “The scientists of today think deeply instead of clearly.
