Initial Benchmarks Of The AMD AOCC 5.0 Compiler On 5th Gen EPYC

[Avamander]

I'm really surprised that all these improvements haven't made it upstream.

How does it help AMD if these performance gains are left to those few that use AOCC, instead of lifting the entire AMD ecosystem a slight step above the rest?

Intel upstreams directly to GCC and LLVM, why would I use an outdated custom compiler just for AMD ???

Intel has their own compiler just as AMD has.

Too close the release of AOCC with Epyc
I think that performances may be better with AOCC 5.1....

I don't know how much money AMD expects to make from selling their closed source compiler, but I would guess there is much more to gain from upstreaming it so all customers running OSS could benefit from the added performance.

AOCC (& other AMD's tools) is free of charge.

None of that made any sense and too often people make the most clueless lies.
