I think the Configurations[IVB] > Device Attributes[IVB] page has
incorrect information about Ivybridge GT2.  It claims there are 12 EUs
and 8 Threads/EU.  However, check the "Configurations Overview" page.
It claims that IVB GT2 has 16 total EUs.  The simulator also indicates
that IVB GT2 has 2 subslices (half slices), 8 EUs per half slice, and
8 Threads/EU.  This gives us 8 * 8 = 64, which is the value we use now.

Ugh.  This wouldn't be the first time the documentation's been wrong
in this area.  I've come to trust the simulator more.
