why do you even try to compile with PGI? i only would only do it after<br>
getting paid for the debugging. in my experience the PGI C/C++ compilers always have been bug ridden (much more than their fortran 77/90 compilers<br>
which have their own share of problems, particularly pgf90).<br>
i've been testing them on and off for 10 years now, and produce with<br>
few exceptions significantly slower executables than gcc or intel.<br>
<br>
having PGI compilers as default (and no viable alternative to pgf90)<br>
has caused our group a great deal of grief on cray xt3 machines and<br>
cost me a lot of time finding and implementing workarounds...<br>

You said the word: Cray. As with IBM their salesforce are smarter than their engineers and these boxes are popping up like mushrooms at least in europe. And they make it very difficult to compile stuff with something else then PGI compilers...<br>
</blockquote><div>Yes here it is also Cray. Building works also very good with GNU and
Pathscale but the Profiling Tools work often better with PGI because
PGI is their default.<br><br>Roland </div></div><br></div>
