Dear Lucas

In the main output you should find how the calculations are distributed 
among the processors' groups. 
It is possible that some calculations are done more than once to avoid that 
processors remain idle. 
What happens if you run the 48 calculations with 24 cores? 
Kind regards
Marcella
