Hi all,
These were interesting comments from a gfortran user relative to a very
large application, 500,000+ loc that now works:
"
Works on both X86_64 and X86! Thanks a lot. In comparing g77 with
4.1.1 of gfortran I noticed
1.) gfortran (almost uniformly) runs longer on X86 than
g77. Most of the 380 tests are small and the comparison
of times is probably meaningless. For some large test,
however, the times are 1.5 that of g77.
2.) gfortran (almost uniformly) runs quicker on X86_64
than g77! In fact, I observed almost the exact
opposite of 1.)
Frankly I was surprised that gfortran is a good as it is.
If there is anything I can do to help you efforts, please
let me know. My test may be valuable before you have a
new release.
Keep up the good work and thanks again,
"
I think the note of appreciation should extend to everyone.
