The nomaf option is provided for cases where it is necessary to exactly duplicate the double results of an implementation that does not have multiply-add operations. The nomaf option prevents the compiler from generating any multiply-add operations. Not using multiply-add operations decreases accuracy and performance but strictly conforms to the IEEE standard for double-precision arithmetic.
To duplicate the single-precision results from other implementations, you may also need to use the -qfloat=rndsngl option.
