benchmarks compiled for AMD Athlon™ 64, AMD Opteron™ and AMD Family 10h processor-
based platforms by different compilers.
5.1 PGI Release 7.1 32- and 64-Bit Compilers for
Linux
®
To translate and link SPECcpu2006 benchmarks with PGI Fortran, C, or C++ compilers the following
commands are used:
• pgcc -w invokes the PGI C compiler
• pgcpp -w invokes the PGI C++ compiler
• pgf95 -w invokes the PGI Fortran 90/95 compiler
5.1.1 Base Command-line Options
The best-known base switches for various benchmarks in SPEC-cpu2006 suite for 64-bit PGI Release
7.1 compilers for Linux on AMD Athlon™ 64 processor based platforms,
AMD Opteron™ processor-based platforms and AMD Family 10h processor-based platforms.
The following command-line options are used for base integer component of SPECcpu2006
(CINT2006).
