The Baseline Milestone described in this directory was run on a 
single processor of the SGI Origin 3000 named chapman at NASA Ames 
on September 18, 2002. 

There were some problems with the multipole library that seem 
SGI-specific and prevented the job from being run there by 
July 30, 2002. Therefore the job was run earlier on a single 
processor of an IBM SP at Brown University. The results of the run 
on the SP have been posted on this website in the directory named 
Baseline_on_SP and this served as the baseline run until the one 
on the SGI was done.

We will use the run on chapman rather than the one on the SP as 
the "official" Baseline Milestone. This is because we will be 
unable to do our later large parallel runs for the later milestones 
on the SP and will do them on chapman. Because the speed of the SP 
and of chapman differ, running all the milestones on chapman is 
the best course of action to allow valid comparisons. The SP runs 
more slowly than the SGI so the SGI baseline will be a more 
appropriate one to use for comparison with the later milestones 
that will be run on the SGI.
