What are the equivalent compilation options for gfort given the ifort compilation?

I am trying to compile a code using gfortran instead of ifortran. The gfortran code runs much much slower than the ifortran code. It does not even use all threads from my computer. I have 40 cores and 80 threads. ifort uses all of them.I think it has to do with the ifort flag /Qm64 but can't be sure (using the /Qm32 flag on ifort is slower and does not use all the threads on openmp - not sure why).

This is the way that visual studio seems to be compiling my code:

Compiling with Intel® Fortran Compiler Classic 2021.4.0 [Intel(R) 64]...
ifort /nologo /O2 /Qopenmp /module:"x64\Release\\" /object:"x64\Release\\" /Fd"x64\Release\vc160.pdb" /libs:dll /threads /c /Qlocation,link,"C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio\2019\Professional\VC\Tools\MSVC\14.29.30133\bin\HostX64\x64" /Qm64 "D:\test\main1.f90"

Here's how I was trying to compile in gfortran:

gfortran -c -m64 -O2 bspline_sub_module.f90 
gfortran -w -ffree-form -ffree-line-length-0 -m64 -O2 -fopenmp main1.f90 random_normal.f90 linspace.f90 bspline_sub_module.o rouwenhorst.f90 spline.f90 splint.f90

What am I doing wrong?

@NC1 ,

 

Given the nature of your question, you may want to consider inquiring at another forum such as Fortran Discourse where a significant fraction of the readers do use gfortran and can offer their input and guidance:

You may need to add -qopenmp to your gfortran compilation of bspline_sub_module (if it contains !$omp directives).

@FortranFran, I will try to ask there as well, thank you. @ jimdempseyatthecove, there are no !$opm directives on that module.
