Actually we will likely be using the Forte compiler's Performance Analyzer tools for this work. It is rather more convenient than Quantify since the Forte compiler's tools generate performance and memory leak reports without having to compile code in any special way or with special arguments, etc. Just so you know that the performance reports will likely look slightly different than the reports that Quantify generates. Though the data is basically the same, so those people who are familiar at looking at Quantify reports will pick up the new format quickly. I have written a 3-page document which describes how the Forte performance tools work and what sort of reports it generates. Since I'm sure some performance reports will be shared with the community, it might be useful to have this reference. Brian
