Having recently run into a healthy portion of cpu alllotment on Pittsburgh's Cray XMP/48 running COS 1.15 I have begun to look for Cray C compilers. It seems that there is an unsupported Bell Labs non-vectorizing C compiler which runs on COS 1.14. This is supposedly buggy and is not supported. Can anyone say whether this compiler is operational under COS 1.15 and whether the bugs are liveable?? There is also the Cray 1.1 C compiler which is the official product and is supported under 1.15 but is currently not available at Pittsburgh. I had heard of a vectorizing compiler from Lawrence Livermore Labs and also of a non-vectorizing compiler from Mt. Xinu at San Diego. These were available on the San Diego Cray XMP/48 running CTSS. Does anyone know whether these are available under COS?? I would be most interested in hearing from anyone who has information on these compilers. To date I have been using a Convex mini-supercomputer and its vectorizing compiler. Both products are of high quality although many times slower than a Cray XMP.
