Does anyone have any recommendations of a good FORTRAN compiler for a DEC 5000? We currently have the f77 supplied by DEC, which is not `good'. My main use is a 3-D finite difference model. When run on a Silicon Graphics Personal Iris with the same MIPS CPU running at 20MHz instead of 25MHz the code still runs 30% faster than the best I can get from the compiler DEC sells when running on the 5000. Using a test 400x400 matrix multiply the DEC supplied C compiler generates code which runs 3 times faster than the code f77 generates. (They both have the optimum loop ordering for the respective languages) Kevin Knappmiller Department of Mechanical Engineering Colorado State University Fort Collins, CO 80523
