Bug ID: 100855 Summary: pow run time gfortran vs ifort Product: gcc Version: 11.1.0 Status: UNCONFIRMED Severity: normal Priority: P3 Component: fortran Assignee: unassigned at gcc dot gnu.org Reporter: nadavhalahmi560 at gmail dot com Target Milestone: --- I wrote the code below: ``` program power implicit none real :: sum, n, q integer :: i, j integer :: limit real :: start, finish sum = 0d0 limit = 10000 n = 2.0 q = 0.5 call CPU_TIME(start) do j=1,limit do i=1, limit n = n*q sum = sum + (i ** (0.05 + n)) end do end do call CPU_TIME(finish) print *, sum print '("Time = ",f6.3," seconds.")',finish-start end program power ``` and compiled it using: ifort pow.f90 -O3 -no-vec -o intel.out gfortran pow.f90 -O3 -fno-tree-vectorize -o gnu.out When I run `./intel.out` I get the following output: 3.3554432E+07 Time = 1.615 seconds. When I run `./gnu.out` I get the following output: 33554432.0 Time = 7.817 seconds. Therefore, gfortran is much slower than ifort. I get similar behavior for `log` and `exp` functions. gfortran -v: Using built-in specs.
