[FLASH-USERS] FLASH Scaling Data

[Lynn Reid]

Well there are certainly published studies of FLASH-3 that I know of... see

   C Graziani, GC Jordan IV, DQ Lamb, LB Reid, P Rich, D Sheeler, D Townsley,
   K Weide; *Numerical Modeling of Space Plasma Flows, *Volume 385, Pages
   145

   - Pragmatic optimizations for better scientific utilization of large
   supercomputers
