[Pw_forum] cp.x and lemieux TRU64 Alpha

[Yonas Abraham]

Hi,

I did a comparison b/n the two 64 bits. Actually, when
we look in detail to the diff in log file, even the
PGI 64 bit version blows out, but strangling, it
adjusted it self with a different guess, I guess. here
is the log for the PGI 64 bit.

  diff=     2.498089579263851       iter=            
1
  diff=     6.083014579370730       iter=            
2
  diff=     20.35737489304835       iter=            
3
  diff=     129.7643878903619       iter=            
4
  diff=     3621.400080136234       iter=            
5
  diff=     4616116.523432171       iter=            
6
  diff=     12739856780499.26       iter=            
7
  diff=    1.2524752110924165E+026  iter=            
8
  diff=    1.2478638673171860E+052  iter=            
9
  diff=    1.2250435300965247E+104  iter=           
10
  diff=    1.1771833447890517E+208  iter=           
11
  diff=                        inf  iter=           
12
  diff=     1.752692656206230       iter=           
13
  diff=    0.2853517316994355       iter=           
14
  diff=    0.1048934415556536       iter=           
15
  diff=    4.4504330932978231E-002  iter=           
16


in the case of alpha TRU64 version, after Iter=11, it
crushed and stop but the case of PGI it resets itself
once it reached  inf.

how is this happen? is there any switch that controls
this?
