I know there is no immediate (if ever) intension to support HP-UX, but while I was trying to build Sage on my Sun, I decided to try it on a rp2470 with two 750MHz 8700 PA-RISC CPUs (td192.testdrive.hp.com on the HP testdrive program) http://www.testdrive.hp.com/ Anyway, not surprisingly the

[sage-devel] Build for optimal performance, or compromise to run on any system?

2008-06-08 Thread Dr. David Kirkby
Is there a general policy on whether compiler flags should give the best performance on a particular machine, or should the binaries work on any similar system? I can see advantages in each. For people working on one system, they might as well get the best performance from Sage and use compiler
