Submit Notes

The config file option 'submit' was used.
 For peak modules using 1/2 the number of available cores, each
 copy was assigned to a single L2 cache using mysubmit.pl script.
 See the flags description file for mysubmit.pl details.

Operating System Notes

 taskset was used to bind processes to cores except for 436.cactusADM peak
 NFS for file system: Sun Fire X4440 with 1 x SAS,72 GB,10 K RPM
 both client and server use onboard ethernet ports connected
 to a 10/100 Ethernet switch.


 'ulimit -s unlimited' was used to set the stacksize to unlimited
 OMP_NUM_THREADS set to number of cores.
 KMP_STACKSIZE set to 64M
 KMP_AFFINITY set to physical,0

Platform Notes

 Default BIOS configurations were used.

General Notes

 All benchmarks compiled in 64-bit mode except 437.leslie3d, 450.soplex
 and 482.sphinx3, at peak, are compiled in 32-bit mode
