Thanks Greg. A somewhat naiive question I suspect.

What's the best way to test the "memory bandwidth sensitivity" of my
code? Given the fact that I have only the AMD Opterons available
currently. Any active / passive tests that  can throw some metrics out
at me?

I don't think our codes have been very well profiled in the past and
this might be the first time we are approaching this process so
rationally.
