Dear colleagues,

Hello.
My name is Takehiro Nishi, in the Geospatial Information Authority of Japan (GSI).
GSI is responsible for correlating some of the geodetic VLBI sessions of IVS.

I'm writing to inquire about processing correlation environment.

Currently, GSI is trying to improve the processing speed of "DiFX", since the processing time didn’t improve when we added three new servers for distributed processing. 
We need to optimize our system, but we are not sure where the bottle neck is.
Therefore, I would appreciate it if you could inform us of your processing environment to help our investigation as below:

	・the number of processes written in .machines files	: 
	・the number of threads written in .threads files		: 
	・the capacity of memory for each server			: 
	・the total number of cores				: 
	・the total number of processing servers			: 
	・Are the number of cores and memory on the servers uniform, or are they varied?
		:

Thank you for your cooperation.


Best regards,
Takehiro
GSI
