I need a volunteer with a recent Linux 2.6.X system with at least GCC 
4.2 and multi-core hardware (e.g. Intel Core 2 Duo or a womping 16 
core system) to assist with doing performance testing of 
OpenMP-accellerated algorithms in development GraphicsMagick 1.3. The 
task is not too challenging since all performance testing can be done 
from the command line.  Programming skills are not required.

OpenMP (parallel processing) is starting to be rolled into 
GraphicsMagick.  Performance is sensitive to OS, compiler, and CPU 
type.  For some targets performance actually gets worse with more 
threads whereas other targets see substantial speedup.  My objective 
is to obtain as much speedup as possible on various systems without 
experiencing loss of processing efficiency.

Can someone please volunteer for this?

Thanks,

Bob
