[gmx-users] intel compiler + amd64: help needed.

[Jones de Andrade]

Hi all!

Ok, got what should be done. But now I have a (big) question: this code
compiles properly with gcc. Ok, maybe that means difference of tolerance
between different compilers. But the code also compiles with intel on intel
machines, and seems to work properly on older amd machines (not quite sure
if they need to be so old that there is no SSE even).

Is there any possibility the compiler is messing out with us somehow? Cause
the same machine, different compilers, would mean bogus or something
comiler, but same compiler, differente machines (or different cpu
manufacturer?), seems to mean evil economics practices. :(

Is there any chance this "suppositions" could be right? And so, it would be
useless to try to crack our heads on "debugging" for one specific compiler
the more optimized code of the world?

Thanks for everything in advance.

Jones
