Thanks! So I could push it beyond 9000 as well? Reason is I've seen a steady boost in performance so far. 1500 < 4000 < 9000. Maybe my performance continues to increase beyond 9000 too? -- Rahul _______________________________________________ Beowulf mailing list, Beowulf@beowulf.org sponsored by Penguin Computing To change your subscription (digest mode or unsubscribe) visit http://www.beowulf.org/mailman/listinfo/beowulf
