[Bug-gnubg] Intel C compiler

[Martin Janke]

Hi,

I compiled gnubg with  Intel's latest C compiler for GNU/Linux (8.0) to
see whether this makes any difference in gnubg's performance:

(AMD Athlon XP 1800, 512MB RAM)

icc 8.0 (-O2)
~ 19500 static evaluations / sec

gcc 3.2.3 (-O2 -mcpu=athlon-xp -march=athlon-xp)
~ 16700 static evaluations / sec

I wonder if the difference would be bigger if it ran on a machine with a
"real" Intel processor.

icc for Linux is free (as in free beer) for non commercial use, but
obviously not free (as in free speech).

 
/Martin
