From 8a57915e8ff03fd8794bcaeb781e95f991b00b29 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: John Mainzer Date: Mon, 20 Sep 2004 16:28:17 -0500 Subject: [svn-r9287] Purpose: Add recomendation that users add the "-qxlf90=autodealloc" flag to FFLAGS when building parallel on the IBM SP platform. Description: See above. Solution: Added the suggestion. Also cleaned up a few minor typos in passing. Platforms tested: none needed -- documentatin change only.
