Submit Notes

 The numactl mechanism was used to bind copies to processors. The config file option 'submit'
 was used to generate numactl commands to bind each copy to a specific processor.
 For details, please see the config file.

Operating System Notes

 Stack size set to unlimited using "ulimit -s unlimited"
 Prior to runcpu invocation
 Filesystem page cache synced and cleared with:
  sync; echo 3>       /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches
 runcpu command invoked through numactl i.e.:
  numactl --interleave=all runcpu <etc>
 irqbalance disabled with "service irqbalance stop"
 tuned profile set with "tuned-adm profile throughput-performance"
 VM Dirty ratio was set to 40 using "echo 40 > /proc/sys/vm/dirty_ratio"
 Numa balancing was disabled using "echo 0 > /proc/sys/kernel/numa_balancing"

General Notes

Environment variables set by runcpu before the start of the run:
LD_LIBRARY_PATH = "/home/cpu2017/lib/ia32:/home/cpu2017/lib/intel64:/home/cpu2017/je5.0.1-32:/home/cpu2017/je5.0.1-64"

 Binaries compiled on a system with 1x Intel Core i7-4790 CPU + 32GB RAM
 memory using Redhat Enterprise Linux 7.4

No: The test sponsor attests, as of date of publication, that CVE-2017-5754 (Meltdown)
is mitigated in the system as tested and documented.
No: The test sponsor attests, as of date of publication, that CVE-2017-5753 (Spectre variant 1)
is mitigated in the system as tested and documented.
No: The test sponsor attests, as of date of publication, that CVE-2017-5715 (Spectre variant 2)
is mitigated in the system as tested and documented.

This benchmark result is intended to provide perspective on
past performance using the historical hardware and/or
software described on this result page.

The system as described on this result page was formerly
generally available. At the time of this publication, it may
not be shipping, and/or may not be supported, and/or may fail
to meet other tests of General Availability described in the
SPEC OSG Policy document, http://wwww.spec.org/osg/policy.htm.

This measured result may not be representative of the result
that would be measured were this benchmark run with hardware
and software available as of the publication date.

Platform Notes

 BIOS Configuration:
  Thermal Configuration set to Maximum Cooling
  Memory Patrol Scrubbing set to Disabled

 Additional information from dmidecode follows.  WARNING: Use caution when you interpret
 this section. The 'dmidecode' program reads system data which is "intended to allow
 hardware to be accurately determined", but the intent may not be met, as there are
 frequent changes to hardware, firmware, and the "DMTF SMBIOS" standard.
