RE: NONMEM compiler
Ronald, The web site that Oskar posted seems extremely useful, and confirmed the rumors that have been around for awhile. But, I'm wondering why anyone would use 32 bit, when 64 bit is faster (about 20%) and seems to be better behaved numerically?

Dear Ronald To my understanding the IVF is considered to be somewhat faster than the gfortran compiler in general. But gfortran is on the other hand open source. Regarding "quality" I think it is more dependent upon model than compiler. Here are some non NONMEM related compiler benchmarks http://www.polyhedron.com/compare0html . Kind Regards Oskar --
