1254.0. "How SGI compilers works" by NETRIX::"[email protected]" (poletti sergio) Thu Apr 10 1997 06:29

SGI has presented to our customer some benchmarks results obtained on Origin
2000 server.

SGI has not used "-r8" f77 compiler switch.

Does this mean that any floting point variable (the application doesn't use
real* or some other declarations) uses 4 bytes (SP) like our f77 applications
?

Or, by default f77 SGI compiler uses 8 bytes (DP), so to I need to use -r8 on
our compiler to obtain the same precision SGI f77 default precision ?

SGI defaults to real*4 as do we.
