Guys -- I packed all the cars/trucks last night and am moving my 
daughter to Augusta today.  I apologize for the delay in getting the 
BabyBLAS back to you but it has been difficult to find a cluster node to 
test your code on and since some of you included compiler flags for 
features ONLY available on Godsey 218 systems -- I generally had to 
wait.  I should have those finished no later than Sunday afternoon as I 
have now isolated a lab218 system exclusively for my testing.

You may have seen that I did finish grading the OpenMPI/MPI Proof of 
Concept paper.  Most of you did a fantastic job demonstrating how you 
could get more performance across multiple nodes by using more threads 
per node.  I tried to provide some guidance for those of you that 
struggled with this.

For the "final" you will most likely want to create 3D plots to locate 
the "sweet spot".  I created a video on how to do this on CANVAS and 
have attached an example to this e-mail.  I will be pretty much "off the 
grid" until tomorrow, but if you spot any issues with the cluster or 
need something go ahead and e-mail me.  If I am able to respond from my 
phone I will.
