Lorenzo, 10K cores sounds great.

Regarding not using all the nodes: I have seen that on Cray test runs, but only at >16K cores.  Its also possible that one or more throttle settings are holding back your runs.

Can you point us to the run directory where we can watch your log file and see your config files and your script?
