General Notes

 The system bus runs at 800 MHz
 Binaries were built on Windows Vista32
 The following VS 2005 SP1 updates were applied: KB926601 and KB932232
 OMP_NUM_THREADS set to number of cores
 KMP_AFFINITY set to physical,0
 The start command with the /affinity switch was used to bind processes to cores
