ELPA speed-up with Intel-compiled code

Dear Alfio,
My apologies for not attaching these at the beginning.  The input and 
output files are now attached.  Please note that the file names (coordinate 
files, etc.) have been changed in the input and output files for 
proprietary reasons.  Also, the ELPA run was killed rather soon after it 
began because no speed-up was observed.

Best regards,
Jerry
