CodePlay say they do a better job than Intel. I imagine Intel hold a differing opinion. I'm interested in knowing the deficiencies of these compilers. I imagine they run into problems with dependency analysis on complicated array expressions. Similarly, I'm interested in knowing in what areas HPF and SAC are performant. It appears to me that a functional language (where dependency analysis is simple) with array shape inference should be capable of creating very array fast code is almost all situations (and the SAC benchmarks show them beating HPF).
