 that's what intel 64 means.
 
 As there seem to be a few users of it maybe you could band
 together
 and generate something along the lines of java-package.

Quantum mechanics and statistical mechanics programs written in Fortran run 
faster if compiled with ifort with respect to GNU compilers. As such 
calculations (particularly the latter) may last days, if not weeks, I had to 
turn to ifort, the trouble notwithstanding of having to rebuild everything when 
advantages are offered by a new release. I would be happy if I could stick at 
GNU.
 
 As some of our customers use the icc I'm happy to test
 and give
 feedback but I fear my time is short enough already for me
 to start
 such a project. So call this a RFP.

In my original post I badly exemplified with icc. Actually, when a 
computational program is written in C/C++ I never so benchmarks claiming  
advantages of icc with respect to gcc.  In my case, of Fortran-based programs 
that also require a C/C++ compiler in the makefile or configuration file, I set 
icc for homogeneity. It may well be that gcc would do the job as well.

Intel compiler for amd64

2008-05-14 Thread Francesco Pietra
On amd64 lenny I would like to upgrade the Intel icc and ifort compilers, 
installing the latest ones.

Along my files I have taken notice how to convert rmp to deb with alien (at 
that time it was am64 etch).  However, I am in doubt now which file to download 
(eg for C++):

Product for Intel(R) 64  l_cc_p_10.1.015_intel64.tar.gz  39 MB
Product for IA-64   l_cc_p_10.1.015_ia64.tar.gz 70 MB

Thanks
