Operating System Notes

 'ulimit -s unlimited' was used to set the stacksize to unlimited prior to run
'mount -t hugetlbfs nodev /mnt/hugepages' was used to enable large pages
echo 900> /proc/sys/vm/nr_hugepages
export HUGETLB_MORECORE=yes
export LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib64/libhugetlbfs.so

Platform Notes

 BIOS Settings:
 Power Management = Maximum Performance (Default = Active Power Controller)
 Logical Processor = Disabled (Default = Enabled)

General Notes

 OMP_NUM_THREADS set to number of cores
 The Dell PowerEdge R210 II and
 the Bull NovaScale R410B F2 models are electronically equivalent.
 The results have been measured on a Dell PowerEdge R210 II model
 Binaries were compiled on RHEL5.5
