Operating System Notes

 'ulimit -s unlimited' was used to set the stacksize to unlimited prior to run
 OMP_NUM_THREADS set to number of cores
 KMP_AFFINITY set to "physical,0"
 KMP_STACKSIZE set to 200M

Platform Notes

 This Express5800/320Fd-MR is a fault-tolerant server.
 Two modules are installed in this server.
 Each module physically has "2CPU chips,24GB memory", The total physical configuration
 is "4CPU chips,48GB memory".
 Using fault-tolerant lockstep technology, these two modules communicate with each other
 and execute the same instructions at the same time, The operating system only sees
 "2CPU chips,24GB memory" as the other components add only redundancy and do not
 contribute to any performance benefit.

General Notes

 The NEC Express5800/320Fd-MR(Intel Xeon E5450) and
 the Bull NovaScale R630 E1 MR(Intel Xeon E5450, 3.00 GHz) models are electronically equivalent.
 The results have been measured on a NEC Express5800/320Fd-MR(Intel Xeon E5450) model.
