I'm impressed by the speed of verification; it sounds as if the FFT itself
ran in parallel on the Itaniums, which I thought people on this list had
repeatedly claimed was impractical. Is it in fact practical but pointless --
you could check a single number in eight days on a dual Opteron, but just
running Prime95 on both CPUs would check two numbers in fourteen.
The Intel Itanium has monster FPU performance and memory bandwidth, both of which greatly help the LL tests.
