SubjectAW: Kernel 2.6.3 patch for Intel Compiler 8.0
Date
Hi again,

please read my last mail carefully:
"33% procs faster on icc, 66% faster on gcc"
means that gcc (GNU) is superior. But the patch is a preliminary
version...

greetings, Ingo.

Hi All!!

Really???

If it is ture using icc 66% faster than gcc., It is wonderful.
Could you show us detail data to lmbench results.

Thanks!!
