Operating System Notes

 'ulimit -s unlimited' was used to set the stacksize to unlimited prior to run
 'mount -t hugetlbfs nodev /mnt/hugepages' was used to enable large pages
 echo 900 > /proc/sys/vm/nr_hugepages
 export HUGETLB_MORECORE=yes

Platform Notes

 BIOS Settings:
 Power Management = Maximum Performance (Default = Active Power Controller)
 Data Reuse = Disabled (Default = Enabled)

General Notes

 OMP_NUM_THREADS set to number of cores
 Binaries were compiled on RHEL5.5
 The Dell PowerEdge R410 and
 the Bull NovaScale R430 F2 models are electronically equivalent.
 The results have been measured on a Dell PowerEdge R410 model.
