ES40 Hardware or Software?

Hi Managers,

I have 9 ES40's running Tru64 5.1, all 4 processor machines,
each with 1GB or more of memory.

The problem is that when I run a small 4 processor MPI (fortran)
job on any one of 8 of the machines all is fine: "top" shows 4 processes
running at 99.9% cpu active each cpu.

HOWEVER, on the 9th machine, the identical job runs 4 processes at
49.9% cpu active each cpu. I can take the job and set the number of
processors down to 2 and I get 2 processes running at 99.9% cpu active
each.

I'm completely baffled.

thanks,
jim
