To: egcs, g77-alpha
I got the following geometric mean Mflops from Livermore
Kernels lfk537e.f (double precision), with my modifications. Both
g77 and egcs are compiled with binutils-2.9.1 installed, with
-O2 -malign-double -march=pentiumpro -funroll-lloops so that I
believe the loop code alignments are reasonable and
comparable.
Compiler PPro/200 P II/233
g77-0.5.23 14.8 50
egcs-0628 35.8 50
lf90-4.50d 42.5 55
So, the additional alignments currently generated in egcs must
give it a tremendous advantage on the pentiumpro, but the
pentium2 isn't so dependent on them. If I compare egcs and
g77 without -funroll-loops, however, egcs often has an
advantage even on P II. If I turn off -malign-double, performance
drops significantly in every case, but more so with egcs on PPro.
