Usage Notes

The NCBI Toolkit applications and libraries have been compiled with "-xarch=v9a -xchip=generic -xcache=generic". This ensures that (1) they can be used for large problems (exceeding 2GB of memory), and (2) they will run on any node in SciClone with reasonable, although not necessarily optimal, performance. Other applications which are built against this installation should use similar options (especially "v9a").
