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 a Perl script;
the script can be found in the flags description file.

Operating System Notes

 'ulimit -s unlimited' was used to set the stack size to unlimited prior to run

Platform Notes

 BIOS Settings:
 Hardware Prefetcher = Disabled (Default = Enabled)
 Adjacent Cache Line Prefetch = Disabled (Default = Enabled)
 High Bandwidth = Enabled (Default = Disabled)

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
 taskset was used to bind processes to cores except
 for 436.cactusADM peak
 OMP_NUM_THREADS set to number of processors
 KMP_AFFINITY set to "physical,0"
 KMP_STACKSIZE set to 64M
