CHPL_TARGET_PLATFORM: linux64

CHPL_TARGET_ARCH: native *
CHPL_LOCALE_MODEL: flat
CHPL_COMM: gasnet *
CHPL_COMM_SUBSTRATE: ibv *

Yes, the only difference is CHPL_TASKS.

For hpl: --n=500 --printArray=false --printStacts=true
--useRandomSeed=false -nl *
For lulesh:
--filename=lmeshes/sedov15oct.lmesh -nl *
For isx: --nide-weakISO --n=5592400 --numTrials=10 -nl *

I use 2/4/8/16/32 nodes, each has 20 physical cores
