Intel 8.0 on Windows now passes all Boost regression tests
A bug fix version of Intel 8.0 for Windows has been posted on their web site. This new version passes all Boost regression tests. See http://boost.sourceforge.net/regression-logs/ Congratulations to Intel, and thanks for fixing several bugs which were causing Boost tests to fail! --Beman
I'm not accusing Intel of this, but the idea popped into my head when I read this message. For the standard processor and/or system tests, I've heard of companies rigging their chips/components to work really well specifically for the tests, not necessarily a general performance increase. Can that be done for our tests? I'm guessing not (especially since our tests can change over time). On 2/21/04 8:25 PM, "Beman Dawes" <bdawes@acm.org> wrote:

I don't think the performance test analogy is accurate. I think they are elevating the priority of problem reports created from our tests -- which they don't control or run. That isn't rigging. Jeff
