Compiler Invocation Notes
To compile these binaries, the Intel Compiler 14.0 was set up to generate 32-bit binaries with the command: "ipsxe-comp-vars.bat ia32 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.
