Hello Barry,

Thanks for offering to look at this.

I configured a different version that does not have the debugger and the results are a lot faster but the efficiency is still similar. Below you'll see the results.

n Tp Efficiency

-------------------------------------

1 162 1

2 110 0.74

4 47 0.86

8 24 0.84

16 12 0.84

32 6 0.84

I'm also including the output of the log_summary for n =1 and 2.

As I said before, this is an SMP machine so I would expect it to be better than the typical cluster. That being said I am still learning how this works.

I am very happy that I managed to get some encouraging results in a day.

Cheers, Francis
