Timing for GAUSS: 1 processor (Parallel Computing Doesn't work!)

Running the program on 1 node gives a very interesting result:

merlin4:~/CPS615.dir/hw4> gauss -pghpf -host merlin4 -np 1 -stat cpus

cpu        real      user       sys     ratio   node
   0*     10.76     10.29      0.05       96%   merlin4
total     10.76     10.29      0.05     0.96x
merlin4:~/CPS615.dir/hw4>

We see that the program runs over 10 times faster (real time) on one processor!
