Compiler Benchmarks

FYI,

Yesterday's Slashdot had an article about Linux compiler benchmarks from
Coyote Gulch (Scott Ladd). In this update he compares GCC and ICC. You
can read the article here:
http://www.coyotegulch.com/reviews/linux_compilers/

Of particular note was his use of SciMark 2.0 which is a NIST developed
benchmark for scientific computing. Its available in both java and C and
computes a MFLOPS number. It would be good to include this in our test
suite if we can (hint, hint, John). You can find it here:

Cool. Seems to compile right out of the box. I like that.
:slight_smile:

Reid, do you know the licensing of this benchmark? I can't find any in the code or on the website?

I couldn't find the licensing either. Its probably "public domain" but you
might want to email NIST and ask.
