    12. Peter, amd 2n-zn2 testbeds, executing more baseline runs, need core frequency under load to compare, and if all tests passing, however number of iterative tests are failing, need to spend time to categorize the failures, see how much work to identify the issues, or alternatively decide to go ahead with just working tests for csit-2009 test cycles (mackonstan, 15:48:00)
