I've had grad students and profs in the past get good results using
Matlab, intel and the intel MKL.
it's worth making explicit again: grad students and profs
are not elegible for the "non-commercial" free Intel license.
Again, what? The intel fortran free non-commercial unsupported CANNOT be
used by graduation or in a scientific lab at an university? Why? Where
is this in theirs license?
Intel says explicitly that you only qualify for the non-comm license
if you do not receive any form of financial compensation for using it.
thus a grad student normally gets a stipend, and so would NOT qualify
as non-commercial. if the grad student is only using it as part of a hobby,
or as part of a charity project, they would qualify. use in a classroom/lab
is also "commercial" to Intel because the university is being paid.
Intel supports this interpretation by offering specific classroom licenses
and academic discounts.
Intel is just redefining "non-commercial",
which the rest of the universe uses to mean "not a for-profit company".
the bottom line is that you should definitely try gcc >= 4.1,
especially for AMD chips.
