Re: CCL:G98 Dual Processor ??

 You could try to compile g98 with Intels compiler. This compiler
 has support for auto parallelization. It works for some problems,
 but not for all. It might work for g98, I do not have the source
 for g98 here so, I have not tried. (I would if I could fine the time
 to visit old frient at the Univ. of Oslo)
 The auto par. works fine for a couple of seismic problems I worked on.
 The Portland compiler also has this option, but it does not work well. The
 Intel compiler is outstanding in this respect.
 You could install threaded versions of the Blas libraries, but this
 does not really speed the g98 up very much. It improves some, but not
 enough time is spent in BLAS routines  to justify this move.
 It would be a unseful exercise if someone could try to compile
 the g98 with Intel ifc (v. 6.0 for Linux) and report the outcome.
 It would also be a nice job if someone sat down and put OpenMP
 comments in the g98 source code, or even better rewrote the g98
 to MPI !
