Hello users,

I saw following posting on comutational chemistry list (www.ccl.net)



http://www.ccl.net/cgi-bin/ccl/message.cgi?2003+06+09+006

I observed that on my platform (ifc 7.1 linux). Any comments ?

Thanks
Yogesh

I'd expect code like that to have "anomolies" with optimization using any X86 compiler. Such sums are very sensitive to the use of extended-precision X87 registers and the order of operations.
