optimization problem with 3.2.1 Fortran


Dear Colleagues.

I am a beta tester for the MIT/SIO GAMIT/GLOBK package which computes GPS data.
The package is a numerical intensive package that runs across several platforms
and operating systems. In my lab I have strict SUN/SOLARIS hardware and software
and 686 based hardware running Red Hat systems and GNU Fortran.

We are seeing an increased fequency of computational differences between our
benchmark Solaris systems and the 686 systems particulary those that have
installed Reh Hat 8.0 with GNU 3.2.1. The problem doesnt appear to be present in
the older 3.05 GNU systems.

We usually resolve these difference by down grading the level of optimozation
from -O3 to -O. In the areas that we have had to do this recently we have not
lost too much performance but there is the work that a major CPU bound routine
will soon be effected.

I would appreciate comments on where to look and what tracing/tracking we might
employ to understand these problems more.

I am willing to provide detailed info on any of the examples that I have.

regards Peter
