Hi
i have rewritten a piece of code to f90 originally written in f77. Both version of the code are compiled with the same flags, same machine/arch and same compiler (pgf90). However, when the values are rounded by writting it to a file the two codes round differently. Any suggestions on how to get both coees to behave the same.
Some things to check.
Constants - make sure you use all 32-bit real constants, or all
64-bit real constants.
a=12345.0E0 is a different number than
b=12345.0D0
Don’t use
-r8 or -r4 to force all reals used to be always real8 or real4
carelessly. These switches affect constants and function values.
Make sure you declare any real functions as
real8 or real4.
The order of operations can be changed with optimization,
and so you may want to use
-Kieee
to force operation order to remain the same. This can eliminate
problems with optimization that save and use more bits
in x86 registers than ift in memory.
If it still fails to be the same, send the code to trs@pgroup.com
