Compiler Flags
Here are some compiler flags which may increase the performance of your code
| Flag | Description |
|---|---|
| -O2, -O3, -fast | Enable optimization to maximise speed. -O3 and -fast is more agressive. |
| -xHost | Enables the usage SIMD extensions of host which allows vectorizing of floating point operations. |
| -fp-model MODEL | Defines the consistency level of floating point operations. Allowed MODEL are: fast, precise, strict, except |
| -[no-]prec-div, -[no-]prec-sqrt, -[no-]fast-transcendentals | Enables faster computations of divisions, square roots and transcendental functions with a reduced accruacy, respectively. |
