> You could write an equally effcient kernel in languages like C++, > using C++ abstractions as a high level organization, where It's very very hard to generate good C code because of the numerous ways objects get temporarily created, and the week aliasing rules (as with C). There are reasons that Fortran lives on (and no I'm not suggesting one should rewrite the kernel in Fortran ;)) and the fact its not really got pointer aliasing or "address of" operators and all the resulting optimsation problems is one of the big ones.
