Well, there are the Computer Language Shootout Benchmarks. You can for example compare G95 to Gnat in Debian on AMD or in Gentoo on Intel: http://shootout.alioth.debian.org/debian/benchmark.php?test=all&lang=g95&lang2=gnat http://shootout.alioth.debian.org/gp4/benchmark.php?test=all&lang=g95&lang2=gnat (The Debian side also has a Fortran compiler from Intel.) I don't know how relevant those benchmarks are to heavy number crunching, but you could always write some new benchmarks and try to get them accepted. http://shootout.alioth.debian.org/gp4/faq.php?#newbench -- Bj�rn Persson PGP key A88682FD omb jor ers @sv ge. r o.b n.p son eri nu
