On Monday a wonderful piece of news reached me:
PathScale Open-Sources The EKOPath 4 Compiler Suite
An high performance C++ compiler is being Open-Sourced and I am going to give it a try as it promises GNU/Gcc compatibility and according to some earlier posts the performance seems to be really good.
Dirndl On Intel's Sandy (Bridge) Is Hot
The "Dirndl" On AMD Opterons Are Impressive
Final Linux Benchmarks Of Project Dirndl
If the performance can compete with icc and the compatibility with gcc is at least the same (which is not that hard) it could become my compiler of choice.
