I tried the steam benchmark today and found it was build without optimizations and without openmp support, so single threaded.
So I modified the install.sh abit
Code:
#!/bin/sh
tar -xvf stream-2009-04-11.tar.gz
cc stream.c -O2 -fopenmp -o stream-bin
echo \$? > ~/test-exit-status
echo "#!/bin/sh
export OMP_NUM_THREADS=\$NUM_CPU_CORES
./stream-bin > \$LOG_FILE 2>&1
echo \$? > ~/test-exit-status" > stream
chmod +x stream
Here's a comparison (also including an icc 11.1 version)
