 Posted: Thu Oct 16, 2014 5:23 pm Post subject: [Solved] Best CFLAGS for Xeon W3670 |
 |
|
Hi,
I am installing gentoo on machines with a Xeon W3670. I have looked all around, but I cannot seem to find any advice on cflags for this particular model (or any "W" series Xeon), though there is plenty on the "E" Series.
Can someone point me to a resource that references this, or otherwise indicate what is ideal here?
Thank you!
G

Can you please post the output of:
on the machine? That should give a good start on the best flags to set.
Cheers,

I always do "-march=native -mtune=native" for all my machines.

Since this is an older Xeon processor (2010), I would go with XavierMiller's recommendation of just setting it to native. For additional flags, you can do:
Those are safe, and if you don't really care about debugging all that often, -fomit-frame-pointer.
Hope that helps.
Cheers,
