Ubuntu 12.10 64bit: To compile or not?
Hi everyone,
I have put together a new computer with intel core i7 3930K, 32GB Ram, 1TB hdd, nvidia GTX 570. I'll install Ubuntu 12.10 and I would like to install OpenFoam for everything CFD, my questions are: 1. Are there any gains in compiling OpenFoam from source vs. installing from the binary file? 2. If compiling from source is the way to go, which compiler should I go for, will ICC be the obvious choice? Or does the latest version of GCC have the edge? 3. Do I need code vectorization, or use of pragmas to achieve better performance? I'm no expert on these terms but I have seen them mentioned in threads discussing GCC vs ICC. Thanks. |
