mrun, subjob, mbuild	cleaning	<name>
PALM code	code clearing and restructuring following programmer guidelines of DWD/DMI	<name>
	- use KIND parameter for defining single/double pprecision instead of compiler options (e.g. -r8)

	Modification of random number generator to allow better parallelization
<page>	<what>	<name>

Code performance

	define setups for scaling / benchmark runs	<name>
	carry out runs to determine PALM's weak/strong scaling behaviour + parallel efficiency, this might be good to be carried out during the test phase of the HLRNIII-Hannover-complex	<name>
