hi, i got the intel C compiler from www.intel.com (41MB download, free, but limited to 30 days of testing). After running the installation program you can use the intel compiler instead of the microsoft compiler with one click in the visual C IDE. it seems to have more optimization options than the microsoft compiler. i used it to compile my checkers program, but it made about the same kN/s with the same compile options. i also tried to use some advanced options (profile guided optimization), then i got about 5% more kN/s but the program crashed very often :-( does anyone else here have some experience with the intel compiler? are these numbers realistic? is my 5% result the best you can get, or is it too little? i'm running on a AMD Athlon K7 - does it matter that this is a non-intel-processor? or are the optimizations the compiler makes for intel processors also beneficial for AMD processors? cheers martin
