Poor performance,
Dear Alexander,
My pi example running now, but the processing time is very slow.
for example if a run the executable compiled with gcc the time is
real 0m7.626s
user 0m5.574s
sys 0m2.007s
But if i compile the same code with pgi and get the time the result is
pi=3.1415926536
real 0m0.269s
user 0m0.008s
sys 0m0.208s
Can you help me explain what parameter of FLAGS i need used to review
the performance problem?
Thanks again
