why g95? gfortran _is_ part of the normal GCC stream, and 4.02 seems fairly mature (4.1 is about to come out). > However in terms of performance you may lose considerably > compared to commercial compilers. these days, gcc does pretty well compared to commercial compilers, if you take care to -march, -msse2 and other tweaks. I can't see why this pretty respectable code quality for c/c++/etc wouldn't also apply to fortran. even the ada and java people seem to be almost happy with gcc's code-gen... _______________________________________________ Beowulf mailing list, [email protected] To change your subscription (digest mode or unsubscribe) visit http://www.beowulf.org/mailman/listinfo/beowulf
