Hi,
I was going over the benchmarking page, for single-node results on different platforms. I don't understand what are the numbers mentioned for each of the benchmarks ? Are they ps/day metric ? Also, what are the compilation flags used in each of the cases ? I would assume "-O3" with SSE/Altivec included for these results ? Were there also system specific options for each of these platforms ? In particular I am interested in ppc970/woodcrest numbers ? How many threads per node are being run for the Woodcrest or the other platforms on the benchmarking page? Is there any benefiton running single/multiple threads on
multi-core platforms ? Could someone help me with these questions ?

ps/day is correct.
in principle we have hitherto used one thread per physical core, ignoring hyperthreading. just try it on your own box.
