[Simfactory] VIP at RZG

[Erik Schnetter]

I have added configuration files for VIP, a Power6 p575 machine at  
RZG.  This machine has 32 cores per node, and each core can execute  
two threads simultaneously (hyperthreading).  There are 2 GByte per  
core, or 1 GByte per thread available.  I am running benchmarks, and  
the performance looks quite good -- hyperthreading is definitively a  
benefit.  So far I have data up to 256 cores; higher core counts are  
waiting in the queue.

The machine looks ready for production use, with queue wait times of a  
day or two, and a maximum queue time of one day.  I assume that  
everybody at the AEI (and collaborators) could get access to this  
machine.
