This option has no effect unless -xarch=sparcace or -xarch=sparcaceplus, and -fsimple=2 are both in effect. In this situation, the use of -fns=yes is strongly advised. These approximated floating-point square root operations do not conform to IEEE-754.

Allows the compiler to assume that your code does not rely on setting of the errno variable.
Enables the use of the fused multiply-add instruction.
Selects faster (but nonstandard) handling of floating point arithmetic exceptions and gradual underflow.

Evaluate float expressions as single precision.
Turns off all IEEE 754 trapping modes.
Allows the compiler to perform type-based alias analysis at the specified alias level:
Substitute intrinsic functions or inline system functions where profitable for performance.
Analyze loops for inter-iteration data dependencies, and do loop restructuring. Loop restructuring includes loop interchange, loop fusion, scalar replacement, and elimination of "dead" array assignments.

The default is -xtarget=generic, which sets the parameters for the best performance over most 32-bit platform architectures.
On Solaris SPARC systems, the default pointer size with -xtarget=native is 32-bit.
Specifies which instructions can be used. Among the choices are:
xcache defines the cache properties for use by the optimizer. It can specify use of default assumptions ("generic"); use of whatever the compiler can assume about the current platform ("native"); or an explicit description of up to three levels of cache, using colon-separated specifiers of the form si/li/ai[/ti], where:
xchip determines timing properties that are assumed by the compiler. It does not limit which instructions are allowed (see xtarget for that). Among the choices are:
Assume data is naturally aligned.
Sets the IEEE 754 trapping mode to common exceptions (invalid, division by zero, and overflow).
Pad local variables, for better use of cache.
Controll the vector math library.
submit=echo 'pbind -b...' > dobmk; sh dobmk (SPEC tools, Unix shell)
When running multiple copies of benchmarks, the SPEC config file feature submit is often used to
cause individual jobs to be bound to specific processors. If so, the specific command may be found in the config file; here
is a brief guide to understanding that command:
This result has been formatted using multiple flags files. The "sw environment" from each of them appears next.
MTEXCLUSIVE
If set to "Y", additional memory allocation buckets will be created, so that threads will not need to share buckets
unless more than 2*NCPUS threads are created. This variable is used by mtmalloc.
SUNW_MP_PROCBIND
Binds threads in an OpenMP program to the virtual processors enumerated in the assignment. Can also be set to TRUE,
which casues threads to be bound in a round-robin fashion.
SUNW_MP_THR_IDLE
Specifies whether idle threads should SLEEP or SPIN.
STACKSIZE=<n>
Set the size of the stack (temporary storage area) for each slave thread of a multithreaded program.
ulimit -s <n>
Sets the stack size to n kbytes, or "unlimited" to allow the stack size to grow without limit.
Note that the "heap" and the "stack" share space; if your application allocates large amounts of memory on the heap,
then you may find that the stack limit should not be set to "unlimited". A commonly used setting for SPEC CPU2006 purposes
is a stack size of 128MB (131072K).
LD_LIBRARY_PATH=<directories>
LD_LIBRARY_PATH controls the search order for both the compile-time and run-time linkers. Usually, it can be
defaulted; but testers may sometimes choose to explicitly set it (as documented in the notes in the submission), in order to
ensure that the correct versions of libraries are picked up.
MADV=access_lwp and LD_PRELOAD=madv.so.1
When the madv.so.1 shared object is present in the LD_PRELOAD list, it is possible to provide advice to the system
about how memory is likely to be accessed. The advice present in MADV applies to all processes and their descendants. A
commonly used value is access_lwp, which means that when memory is allocated, the next process to touch it will be
the primary user. Examples of other possible values include sequential, for memory that is used only once and
then no longer needed and acces_many when many processes will be sharing data.
MPSSHEAP=<size>, MPSSSTACK=<size>, and
LD_PRELOAD=mpss.so.1
When these variables are set, the mpss.so.1 shared object will set the preferred page size for new processes, and their
descendants, to the requested sizes for the heap and stack.
Platform settings
One or more of the following settings may have been applied to the testbed. If so, the "Platform Notes" section of the report will say so; and you can read below to find out more about what these settings mean.
autoup=<n> (Unix /etc/system)
When the file system flush daemon fsflush runs, it writes to disk all modified file buffers that are more
than n seconds old.
bufhwm=<n> (Unix /etc/system)
Sets the upper limit of the file system buffer cache. The units for bufhwm are in kilobytes.
cpu_bringup_set=<n> (Unix /etc/system)
Specifies which processors are enabled at boot time. <n> represents a bitmap of the
processors to be brought online.
segmap_percent=<n> (Unix /etc/system)
This value controls the size of the segmap cache as a percent of total memory. Set this value to help keep the file system cache from consuming memory unnecessarily.
STACKSIZE=<n> (Unix environment variable)
Set the size of the stack (temporary storage area) for each slave thread of a multithreaded program.
psrset -c <n> (Unix, superuser commands)
Creates a new processor set and displays the new processor set ID.
psrset -e <n> (Unix, superuser commands)
Executes a command (with optional arguments) in the specified processor set.
The command process and any child processes are executed only by processors in the processor set.
svcadm disable webconsole (Unix, superuser commands)
Turns off the Sun Web Console, a browser-based interface that performs systems management.
If it is enabled, system administrators can manage systems, devices and services from remote systems.
svcadm disable ldmd (Unix, superuser commands)
Turns off the Logical Domains Manager, create and manage logical domains, as well as map logical domains to physical resources.
ts_dispatch_extended=<n> (Unix /etc/system)
Controls which dispatch table is loaded upon boot. A value of 1 loads the large system table, a value of 0 loads the regular system table.
tune_t_fsflushr=<n> (Unix /etc/system)
Controls the number of seconds between runs of the file system flush daemon, fsflush.
doiflush=<n> (Unix /etc/system)
Controls whether file system metadata syncs will be executed during fsflush invocations.
dopageflush=<n> (Unix /etc/system)
Controls whether memory is examined for modified pages during fsflush invocations.
zfs:zfs_arc_max=<n> (Unix /etc/system)
Determines the maximum size of the ZFS Adaptive Replacement Cache (ARC).
Firmware / BIOS / Microcode settings
sethsmode (eXtended System Control Facility, XSCF)
sethsmode is a command to enable or disable the high speed mode of the CPU. The default mode is disabled.
setcod (eXtended System Control Facility, XSCF)
setcod is a command to set the CPU Activation to be used in the physical partition (PPAR).
