We've just completed a major update of the Polyhedron Comparison charts
at www.polyhedron.com.
The comparisons cover 9 Linux compilers (Absoft, g95, gfortran, Intel,
Lahey, Nag, Pathscale, PGI and Sun) and 8 Windows compilers (Absoft,
FTN95 (Win32 and .NET), g95, gfortran, Intel, Lahey, Nag and PGI).
There are 16 execution speed benchmarks - each run under Windows and
Linux on 2 different machines, one with an AMD processor, and the other
with Intel.
In addition, there are test results for 50 code samples which exercise
the run-time diagnostic capabilities of each compiler, and 32 which
determine what extensions to standard Fortran they permit.
Thanks are due to the various compiler vendors for access to the
compilers and for other technical sup****t, and to Carlos Segura of the
University Of La Laguna, Santa Cruz de Tenerife, who refined the testing
scripts and ran the tests. He also scoured the compiler do***entation
to get the most out of each one, and managed the considerable feat of
getting all the compilers working at the same time!
