Linux Number Crunching: Languages and Tools

ChaoticCoyote writes " You've covered some of my past forays into benchmarking, so I thought Slashdot might be interested in Linux Number Crunching: Benchmarking Compilers and Languages for ia32. I wrote the article while trying to decide between competing technologies. No one benchmark (or set of benchmarks) provides an absolute answer -- but information helps make reasonable decisions. Among the topics covered: C++, Java, Fortran 95, gcc, gcj, Intel compilers, SMP, double-precision math, and hyperthreading."
