How well were the compilers tested?
For 1.0 release, a number of test suites for C, C++, and Fortran90 were used, as well as a number of open source programs. Tests were run at -O2, and -O3 levels of optimization. The tests were run on simulators and Itanium systems. Also a number of large (>400,000 source lines) applications were used, thanks to University of Alberta, TsingHua University and University of Minnesota. For 1.1 release, the release is not a full scale release. Hence, it has not gone through the same rigorous testing as 1.0, yet we have done our best to ensure the quality of the 1.1 release. The same test suites and open source programs were used during our testing, with more optimization combinations (O2, O3, IPA, profiling) than that of 1.0. No external organizations were involved for this release. The same large application used during 1.0 testing were not used for 1.1 release either. For 2.0 release, we have gone through similar rigorous testing as for 1.0 release. Most of the testing is done with the cr
