Interesting benchmark between GCC and GCCfss. GCCffs is a GCC compatible frontend with Sun Studio backend. Up to 65% more floating point performance gives you a nice boost in your applications. You should give it a try.

Using Sun Studio Compiler for x64
The GCC has the advantage, that you get it almost everywhere and many programmers design their makefiles in a way as it is the only compiler in the world (on SPARC we have the GCCfss to solve that issue. But the GCC isn´t necessarily the compiler yielding

Hallo Jörg,

Du fixt mit halben Überschriften die Leute ganz schön an.
Dieser Performancegewinn resultiert doch nur aus der Optimierung des GCC auf die Sparc-Archtitektur.
Aus Deiner Überschrift könnte man ablesen, dass das für "alle" Plattformen gilt ...

Schönes Wochenende

1. Zum einen sehe ich nichts Falsches in "anfixen". Dafür ist das hier ein Weblog und kein Nachschlagewerk

2. GCCfss heisst GCC for SPARC Systems ...

3. Es ist kein auf SPARC optimierter GCC, sondern ein GCC, dem das originale Backend weggenommen worden ist, und durch das Sun Compiler Backend ersetzt worden ist. Komplett anderer Schnack.
