Testing LLVM Clang 3.5's Code Generation Optimizations

These results aren't particularly different from our past compiler optimization level comparisons, but they're some fresh numbers from LLVM/Clang 3.5 SVN and the Intel Core i7 4790K Devil's Canyon Linux system. If you missed the past Phoronix articles on the topic or are now only becoming interested in compiler optimizations, hopefully these reference figures were helpful to your research. Feel free to carry out your own compiler benchmarks using our open-source Phoronix Test Suite benchmarking software with OpenBenchmarking.org.
