[comp.lang.fortran] F77 to C translators - Performance?

mcgrory@hpcllmv.HP.COM (John McGrory) (08/16/89)

Regarding Fortran to C translators (mainly interested in F77 to C),
does anyone have any figures on expected performance of the resulting
code, when compiled on particular machines/compilers, etc. ?
I seem to recall one company claiming that the resulting C code
was guaranteed to run faster than the compiled F77 code, but I never
saw anything very specific about it.

thanks...
