The AMD Optimizing C/C++ Compiler (AOCC) is a free, open source, optimizing compiler from AMD targeting 32-bit and 64-bit Linux platforms.[1][2] It is based on LLVM Clang 4.0 with various additional patches to improve performance for AMD's Ryzen microprocessors. AOCC also includes a version of DragonEgg gcc plugin for Fortran sources.[1][3]

Michael Larabel of Phoronix didn't find any real advantage of the Advanced Optimizing C/C++ Compiler over mainline Clang in a benchmark.[3]
