Not exactly. I am talking about the last line of the 3.0 scaling
benchmarks. For example, the 4 processor job runs at 637 ps/day which
is 124% scaling. By contrast my machine which is quite similar as far
as I can tell, gets only 517 ps/day or 81% scaling. Are those benchmarks
for quad-nodes? Mine are dual-nodes.
