Compiler Invocation Notes

 To compile these binaries, the Intel Compiler 14.0 was set up to
 generate 64-bit binaries with the command:
 "ipsxe-comp-vars.bat intel64 vs2010" (shortcut provided in the Intel(r)
 Parallel Studio XE 2013 program folder)

Submit Notes


 Processes were bound to specific processors using the start command with the /affinity switch.
 The config file option 'submit' was used to generate the affinity mask for each process.
