1. Background and scope

• SXSI (hereafter “the code”) is high-performance numerical scientific software (spectral synthesis / radiative transfer style): heavy linear algebra, FFTs, possibly parallelism via shared memory (OpenMP) or MPI, and large I/O (tables, spectral grids).
• Windows 8 x64 is a 64-bit consumer/enterprise OS (NT kernel family) with a POSIX-like layer via MSYS2/Cygwin, native MSVC toolchain, and support for both Win32 API and POSIX emulation. Its behavior differs from Unix-like environments in process semantics, file permissions, path conventions, and default thread scheduling.
