To help convince them, it might be worth showing that Intel has allowed the use of their compiler and that they could point to your page as a demonstration (online demo) of their product(s). Of interest:\r\n\r\nPGI (x86/64)\r\n---\r\n\r\nYeah, I know they're hyper enterprisey/academic and all, but it'd be pretty neat to have the [PGI Compiler](http://www.pgroup.com/products/pgiworkstation.htm) in too. Of interest would likely be their x86_64 workstation compiler, seeing as the server compiler appears to be more of a networked edition of the workstation one.\r\n\r\nIBM (POWER8 & z/System)\r\n---\r\nOkay, these guys have a lot of architectures and thus [a metric shit ton of compilers](http://www-03.ibm.com/software/products/en/ccompfami). What actually appears to be intended for use with Linux are their [XL C/C++ Linux Power Compiler](http://www-03.ibm.com/software/products/en/xlcpp-linux) and their [XL C/C++ Linux on Z Compilers](http://www-03.ibm.com/software/products/en/xlcpp-loz). One thing I couldn't ascertain was whether the compilers themselves required either of those platforms (which I assume would make using the IBM compilers infeasible).\r\n\r\nARM (ARM/64)\r\n---\r\n\r\nARM's [Compiler 6](http://ds.arm.com/ds-5/build/arm-compiler-6/) should have pretty good performance, given that it is their architecture. It would be interesting to see what they are doing differently, and also see how the special optimizations in the upcoming ARM64 models are used. Also, their compiler is built off of LLVM, which reminds me...\r\n\r\nLLVM (ARM/64, Hexagon, MIPS, PTX/64 (hi NVIDIA), Sparc/v9, z/System (hi IBM))\r\n---\r\n\r\nUmm... I think I'll make a separate issue for this. There;s just... too. much. stuff.\r\n\r\nNVIDIA (PTX)\r\n---\r\n\r\nThese guys seem to be suuuper chill lately. They not only made their [CUDA 7 Compiler (`nvcc`)](https://developer.nvidia.com/cuda-downloads) free, they built an Ubuntu deb (and a bunch of other packages, so installing should be easy.\r\n\r\nTCC (x86; [x64, ARM, MIPS]?)\r\n---\r\n\r\nThe performance from the [Tiny C Compiler](http://repo.or.cz/w/tinycc.git) is simply horrible due to its obvious lack of optimizations. They appear to still be adding stuff, but it looks like they now support more than just i386. This one is probably the easiest to setup, but it's also the lowest priority IMHO.\r\n\r\n===\r\n\r\nAnyways, I know you have other things to get done, so try not to spend too much time on this (not too high of a priority), but please do shoot a few emails here and there and try to setup NVIDIA and TCC if possible (those two are free).\r\n\r\nThanks again!"},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/mattgodbolt/gcc-explorer/issues/comments/255907005","html_url":"https://github.com/mattgodbolt/gcc-explorer/issues/82#issuecomment-255907005","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/mattgodbolt/gcc-explorer/issues/82","id":255907005,"user":{"login":"ldemailly","id":3664595,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/3664595?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/ldemailly","html_url":"https://github.com/ldemailly","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/ldemailly/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/ldemailly/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/ldemailly/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/ldemailly/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/ldemailly/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/ldemailly/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/ldemailly/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/ldemailly/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/ldemailly/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2016-10-25T00:54:53Z","updated_at":"2016-10-25T00:54:53Z","body":"one more that is quite \"out there\" compared to gcc #165 :-) (but you have go, etc...)"}}
