To: chemistry@www.ccl.net Date: Fri, 5 Jun 1998 20:18:26 -0400 (EDT) X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4 PL23-upenn3.1] MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Hi! I am interested in compiling fortran code for a linux box: 1)ADF - will have Fortran 90 code! 2)GAMESS/HONDO 3)AMBER v. 5.0 My interest is in top performance with SMP running to have multiple CPU's (Pentium Pro or Pentium II's). Also, ease of compilation is a factor, although tweaking makefiles, etc is less of a consideration. (Rewriting full makefile, etc is out of the question!) What would you recommend? I know the subject has come up in the past, but compilers are improved all the time, and I would like a follow up on people's experience and recommendations. I will summary to the list. I am willing to go freeware, but I would spend the money on a good Fortran compiler to gain the performance. (I also believe there is no freeware fortran compiler for f90 code!) Thanks!
