General Notes


 IBM Post-Link optimization tool with
     options "-O4 -omullX -see 0 -m power6" used for
        433.milc 435.gromacs 436.cactusADM 482.sphinx3
     options "-O4 -omullX -see 1" used for
        436.cactusADM
     options "-O4 -omullX -see 1 -ihf -1" used for
        453.povray
     options "-O4" used for
        465.tonto
      Whenever option "-omullX" was used during the optimization phase,
        option "-imullX" was also used during the instrumentation phase.
