 The figure shows the dependency of the computing time on the selected mpich environment and the number of processes. **mpich1** means 1 process per node, **mpich2** 2 processes and so forth. For 16 processes, the environment variable is not following the same name convention, it is called **mpich**.
-A trend can be noticed that the computing time decreases with decreasing number of processes per node and increasing number of processes, also corresponding to an increase of the number of slots. However, when the number of processes further increases, the computing time rises. The reason is the not optimal scaling of BLACS and SCALAPACK. Improvement can be achieved by utilizing ELPA instead.

 **Figure 5:** real running time depending on the selected mpich environment and the number of processes. Here the number of threads is always 1.
+===== VSC 3 =====
+The code was compiled with the intel compiler, intel MKL (BLACS, SCALAPACK), and intel mpi (5.0.0.028).
+Figure 6 shows that the running time of this benchmark substantially decreases with the number of MPI-processes. The decrease in running time with the number of threads is less dominant. However, other applications may exhibit a different behavior.
