Re: [AMBER-Developers] reference os+compiler systems

Current git master:

Only tried serial pmemd.

On a 'to be released in a few months Intel Xeon chip' (Can't give more details due to NDA).

gcc version 4.8.5 20150623 (Red Hat 4.8.5-4) (GCC)
DHFR NPT 4fs - 4.51 ns/day

icc version 16.0.1 (gcc version 4.8.5 compatibility)
DHFR NPT 4fs - 5.95 ns/day


So quite a difference - would be slightly more if I added MKL.

All the best
Ross
