C. Chan" To: chemistry@www.ccl.net Subject: AMD-K6/linux for G98 Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Dear Netters, We have a plan to get a linux box equipped with AMD-K6 for Gaussian 98 calculations. However, it seems that the recommended blas library and Portland Fortran compiler are optimized for Intel CPU only (I may be mistaken saying so). I would be grateful if anyone could share his/her experience concerning the following thoughts i. pay more money to buy Intel processor ii. go on with our plan (assuming that the performance of Linux/AMDK6-G98 won't be very different from Linux/IntelPII-G98) iii. keep the AMD but switch to NT/G98W instead of linux/G98 Many thanks, Jerry ****************************************************************** * Jerry Chun Chung CHAN chan@uni-muenster.de * * Universitaet Muenster phone: 0049-251-83-29156 * * Institut fuer Physikalische Chemie fax: 0049-251-83-29159 * * Schlossplatz 4-7 * * D-48149 Muenster * * Germany * ******************************************************************
