I am about to install the new CCP4 version on a Linux box I was wondering if
anyone knows whether there would be an advantage in compiling CCP4 4.2 with
the Intel compilers over using the pre-built binaries. If there is an
advantage, does anyone have any advice about compiling--such as how to
configure compiler flags, which libraries to use, and whether or not using
the Intel C compiler in conjunction with IFC will give a performance boost.
There was a nice mailing a couple of months ago from Kay Diederichs
mentioning that the new CCP4 version will be able to compile with the Intel
compilers, but nothing more has been mentioned (unless of course I missed it
when perusing the CCP4 pages).
