Hi, I am puzzled about the speed of a zx2000 workstation with a 900Mhz CPU. According to the SPECfp2000 benchmarks, this workstation should be about twice as fast as a DS10 alpha workstation.
The test program is only doing some Fourier transforms (fftw2) and some matrix multiplications. Both fftw2 and the program have been compiled with ecc -O2 -ipo -limf. ecc is Version 7.1, Build 20030307. With or without optimization, the program runs about 25% slower on the zx2000. Are there any compiler related issues ? The specfp numbers were all obtained with ecc 6.0, which I don't have. Both the alpha and the Itanium2 run Debian stable and kernel 2.4.20.
