Hello,
after installing Intel Fortran 2016 Compiler we experienced a bad runtime performance. This brought us to a speed comparision og different Intel Fortran version with interestin results:
(We realy cared about keeping compiler and linker settings comparable)
- FAST 7 (latest with custom enhancements) IVF 2013 and VS 2013: Sim/CPU = 1.96
- FAST 7 (latest with custom enhancements) IVF 2016 and VS 2013: Sim/CPU = 1.45
- FAST 7 (latest with custom enhancements) IVF 2016 and VS 2015: Sim/CPU = 1.54
- FAST 8.12.00a Test18 IVF 2013 and VS 2013: Sim/CPU = 9.09
- FAST 8.12.00a Test18 IVF [color=red]2016 and VS 2013: Sim/CPU = [color=red]4.76
For compiling FAST 8 with IVF 2013 and VS 2013 we took the included VS project and for VS 2015 we upgraded this project.
The behaviour keeps the same on various computers. Anyone similar experiences?
