GCC has gone through a major overhaul starting with version 4.0. It now
support Fortran 95, vectorization, OpenMP and several high-level loop
optimizations. It still needs work in scheduling and register
allocation, but there is work underway in those areas as well.


That being said, we have not yet covered the gap completely in terms of
floating point performance.
