Added a flag (-u) to enable automatic strong scaling rather than relying on utilizing the --pattern-size flag to appropriately truncate the pattern.
The advantage being that each MPI rank gets a portion of the pattern, rather than an identical chunk of the first n items in a pattern, which is the behavior of the --pattern-size flag.
For example:
mpirun -n 2 ./spatter -p0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8 -u
