What CFlags are being used to optimize a Smithfield 830 Dual Core?

Hi ,

I am installing Gentoo on four Smithfield 830 Dual core servers. I was curious and interested to find out exactly, if any CFlags in GCC or ICC are used to optimize performance. I haven't found any published data to support optimization flags for the smithfield.

I would appreciate a information that can be posted on this thread.

Sincerely,

Smithfield is the same as Nocona, as far as the issues dealt with by compiler flags are concerned. So, gcc -march=nocona is suitable, along with any other gcc flags you would normally use, including -ftree-vectorize. icc -xW or -xP would be chosen, according to the desired choice between Opteron compatibility and SSE3 optimization. For applications I have dealt with, the same optimizations work for dual single core Nocona and for single socket dual core Smithfield.
