Gentlemen,

Not directly FreeBSD, but close.

What are the changes from ev56 to ev67?

Specifically, will I see any performance increase from compiling a 
program on a ev67, compared to compiling on a ev56 and running the 
same program on a ev67.

ex. 
1. compile program AA on a ev56,  execute on a ev56 =  performance XX
2. compile program AA on a ev56,  execute on a ev67 =  performance XX + some
%
3. compile program AA on a ev67,  execute on a ev67 =  performance ??
compared to 2.

Depends on the program, I know, but in general non obligated terms ;-)
Compiling the program is done with gcc 2.95.2 in this scenario.


Does anybody, by the way, have any idea of how the gcc compiler fares,
compared
to Compaq's own compiler on the alpha platform ?

TIA,
Bjarne Blichfeldt
