[molpro-user] Itanium machine

[Nick Wilson]

Some benchmarks are available here:
http://www.molpro.net/benchmark

Supported platforms are available here:

Historically the HP-UX/HP-f90 combination has been faster for molpro
than the Linux/Intel-compiler combination I but don't have direct
comparison numbers for latest versions on the latest hardware.

Molpro runs in parallel on these systems.

Best wishes,
Nick Wilson
