I haven't done any experiments with CNS and various Linux
compilers. But I did some tests with CCP4 and SHARP using the
following compilers:
- gcc/g77 2.95.* and 3.0.*: work fine, maybe not the fastest
executables
- Lahey F95 6.0 and 6.1: again, no problems here. No speed gain
versus the GNU compilers. But I like the diagnostics (probably not
of much interest to end users, but important to developers).
- Portland Group pgf77/pgf90/pgcc 3.2 and 3.3: seems to handle
'difficult' code the best and still gives correct results. Faster
code than the two above.
- Intel Compiler ifc/icc 5.0 and 6.0beta: fairly stable by now. VERY
fast code.
- on Alpha/Linux the Compaq Linux version of their compilers: very
fast code and the usual Compaq/Digital quality.
I played with Absoft and NAGware evaluation cmopilers and gave up on
both: too much 'Windows/Microsoft'-ish style and options. Couldn't
compile CCP4 and/or SHARP (but didn't try too hard since the others
work fine).
