SOURCE FILE MODIFICATIONS
The NFILES parameter was set to 12; (I was trying to run the large dataset and forgot to reset it to 1.) For the 4 and 8 processor runs an NFILES value of 1 performed better, (under a second of difference, these results are not given.)
GENERAL NOTES
All four seismic phases verified in every case.
