He is running GM.

He has run IMB compiled with -DCHECK and it did not report any errors.

The problem is that, when running HPL, he sees failed residuals. When
running HPL under MPICH-GM, he does not.
I have tried running HPCC (HPL plus other benchmarks) using OMPI with
GM on 32-bit Xeons and 64-bit Opterons. I do not see any failed
residuals. I am trying to get access to a couple of OSX machines to
replicate Brock's setup.
