So let's test the veracity of that statement. I'm in particular looking forward to seeing how this affects my amd fx 8150.
Note that the ACML libs are available as separate packages for different compilers -- download the right libs when linking (i.e. the gnu ones for gcc, and the intel ones for intel composer)
But first we need to install and set-up the intel compiler suite, and that's what we'll do in this post.
In the example below I've installed in on an AMD Athlon II X3, hence the message about non-Intel architecture.
Installation:
Register for the Intel Parallel Studio XE as touched upon in this post: http://verahill.blogspot.com.au/2013/06/465-intel-mkl-math-kernel-library-on.html

The Files and Setup:
The compiler binaries are now found in /opt/intel/composer_xe_2013.3.163/bin/intel64/ . Of particular interest are ifort, icc and icpc (fortran, c and c++).
In addition, you'll need the lib and include files, which are found in /opt/intel/composer_xe_2013.3.163/compiler/lib/intel64/ and /opt/intel/composer_xe_2013.3.163/compiler/include/intel64.
You can either simply add the libs using LD_LIBRARY_PATH, but a perhaps easier and better method is to create a file: /etc/ld.so.conf.d/intel.conf
Once that's done, run/opt/intel/composer_xe_2013.3.163/compiler/lib/intel64 /opt/intel/composer_xe_2013.4.183/mkl/lib/intel64
sudo ldconfig
Then do
echo 'PATH=$PATH:/opt/intel/composer_xe_2013.3.163/bin/intel64' >> ~/.bashrc source ~/.bashrc
Testing:
See this post for an example of how to compile nwchem using ifort: http://verahill.blogspot.com.au/2013/07/470-very-briefly-compiling-nwchem-63.html
