Hi Neo,
I have seen, in this forum, that developers have used advanaced gcc optimization options for benchmarking.
I just want to compare the performance of gcc and Intel compiler and thats why trying to use best available optimization options for Intel compiler i.e -ipo (PGO can also be used).

If this doesnt answer your question than please let me know why one should not be allowed to use whatever options available with a compiler for these benchmarks?

Regards,
CP
