Phoronix: Preview: EKOPath Benchmarks On AMD's Bulldozer

It has been a while since last running any tests of PathScale's EKOPath compiler, but in this preview article are some AMD FX-8150 "Bulldozer" benchmarks of the EKOPath compiler compared to GCC 4.7.0, LLVM/Clang 3.1 SVN, and AMD Open64 4.5.1.

Moral of the story is: if all you ever do with your processor is run C-Ray, use GCC.

So why are the nightly builds not nightly builds??

[Merkil]

The version of EKOPath you used clearly is out of date. You should rather clone the path64 repository or use this installer.

I heard from CBergstr?m last night... turns out there are evidently nightly builds if you wrangle the URL, but they just don't update the web-page often to reflect that...

But it seems very random which ones are available.

Does anyone know how well the (I assume) official repository at https://github.com/path64 reflect the nightlies? In other words is this the codebase which is used to build the nightlies? If so we could simply grab and build them from there. However iirc correctly the github repo version was incomplete, has this changed? AFAIK the whole point of this exercise was to fully open source path64, or am I mistaken?

[ChrisXY]

Is there really nothing news-/updateworthy happening to ekopath? I mean, this article was a "preview" but there was no follow up...

I would like to see a comparison between the version of this article vs the latest nightly version[1] vs path64 just to see whether there is some activity that is improving things...
