I am currently compiling a lot of software (mainly opensource) using Intel ICC. Where can I find the proper optimization flags for myprocessorand how I determine what flags to use?
The software I would like to recompile are: boost (http://www.boost.org/), python,numpy (http://numpy.scipy.org/), and perl.
Any advice would be appreciated.

Here is are a couple of articles that talks about compiling Boost using Intel compiler:

Hope this helps...
