I finally got through some of the queues on 
http://www.nas.nasa.gov/hecc/resources/pleiades.html, attached are a few 
results.

The webpage above has quite a detailed description.

I downloaded Eigen with hg about 24 h ago.

Compile commands are in the compile.pbs files, I used march=native with 
gcc and xHost with intel. The eigen.o* files list flags that gcc used 
when compiling, you can get them with grep enabled eigen.o* | awk 
'{print $1}' | tr '\n' ' ' && echo. Looks like AVX and other suggestions 
were included where available. I got a complaint from intel when compiling:
In file included from ../../eigen/Eigen/Core(298),
                 from benchmark-blocking-sizes.cpp(16):
.../../eigen/Eigen/src/Core/arch/AVX/MathFunctions.h(15): warning #47: 
incompatible redefinition of macro "_mm256_setr_m128" (declared at line 
1553 of 
"/nasa/intel/Compiler/2015.0.090/composer_xe_2015.0.090/compiler/include/immintrin.h")
  #define _mm256_setr_m128(lo, hi) \

PGI 14.2 compiled but the test coredumped immediately.
