I have never used the Intel compilers.

It depends also on your PC environments.
(OS and its version.)


BTW, the below is rather old

Currently gcc 5.3.0 works and its performance seems not to be bad.

Octave is usually built with gcc (sometimes by the clang for C and C++ code) 
and 
octave build may not be not straightforward for other compilers.

Please wait replies from experts.
