GCC 4.8 Intel Ivy Bridge Benchmarking
Benchmarking GCC 4.8 against earlier GCC compiler releases from an Intel Ultrabook ASUS with Intel Core i3 3217U processor. Benchmarking for a future article for Phoronix.com.

GCC 4.8
OS: Ubuntu 13.04, Kernel: 3.9.0-999-generic (x86_64), Desktop: Xfce 4.10, Display Server: X Server 1.13.2, Display Driver: intel 2.21.4, OpenGL: 3.0 Mesa 9.2.0 (git-4e8f5c5), Compiler: GCC 4.8.0, File-System: ext4, Screen Resolution: 1366x768
POV-Ray
Open FMM Nero2D
Minion
FFmpeg
Smallpt
Smallpt is a C++ global illumination renderer written in less than 100 lines of code. Global illumination is done via unbiased Monte Carlo path tracing and there is multi-threading support via the OpenMP library. Learn more via the OpenBenchmarking.org test page.
C-Ray
This is a test of C-Ray, a simple raytracer designed to test the floating-point CPU performance. This test is multi-threaded (16 threads per core), will shoot 8 rays per pixel for anti-aliasing, and will generate a 1600 x 1200 image. Learn more via the OpenBenchmarking.org test page.
Timed PHP Compilation
Timed Linux Kernel Compilation
Timed ImageMagick Compilation
7-Zip Compression
Himeno Benchmark
The Himeno benchmark is a linear solver of pressure Poisson using a point-Jacobi method. Learn more via the OpenBenchmarking.org test page.
GraphicsMagick
VP8 libvpx Encoding
Botan
Timed MrBayes Analysis
Timed MAFFT Alignment
Timed HMMer Search
This test searches through the Pfam database of profile hidden markov models. The search finds the domain structure of Drosophila Sevenless protein. Learn more via the OpenBenchmarking.org test page.
FFTE
FFTE is a package by Daisuke Takahashi to compute Discrete Fourier Transforms of 1-, 2- and 3- dimensional sequences of length (2^p)*(3^q)*(5^r). Learn more via the OpenBenchmarking.org test page.
LAMMPS Molecular Dynamics Simulator
CLOMP
CLOMP is the C version of the Livermore OpenMP benchmark developed to measure OpenMP overheads and other performance impacts due to threading in order to influence future system designs. This particular test profile configuration is currently set to look at the OpenMP static schedule speed-up across all available CPU cores using the recommended test configuration.
