-If you run very large meshes on a relatively small number
-of processors, the memory size needed on each processor might become
-greater than 2 gigabytes, which is the upper limit for 32-bit addressing.
-In this case, on some compilers you may need to add \texttt{``-mcmodel=medium}'' or \texttt{``-mcmodel=medium -shared-intel}''
-to the configure options of CFLAGS, FCFLAGS and LDFLAGS otherwise the compiler will display an error
-message (for instance \texttt{``relocation truncated to fit: R\_X86\_64\_PC32 against .bss''} or something similar);
-on an IBM machine with the \texttt{xlf} and \texttt{xlc} compilers, using \texttt{-q64} is usually sufficient.

 By default, the solver runs in single precision. This is fine for most application, but if for some reason
 you want to run the solver in double precision, run the \texttt{configure} script with option \texttt{``--enable-double-precision}''.
 Keep in mind that this will of course double total memory size and will also make the solver around 20 to 30\% slower
