We are using this compiler on at least a dozen production programs here. And _none_ of those programs are in SPEC. And they have _all_ been validated with large test data sets to confirm they produce identical results with gcc and even with some Sun workstations. That is a vincent-like statement that is simply _false_. I'll be happy to give you the names of people here using that compiler on my cluster and on machines outside my cluster, that will verify that they have tested it carefully... It would make no sense for Intel to release something that doesn't work.
