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"
 Transparent Huge Pages enabled by default
 Filesystem page cache cleared with:
  shell invocation of 'sync; echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches' prior to run
 runspec command invoked through numactl i.e.:
  numactl --interleave=all runspec <etc>
 irqbalance disabled with "systemctl stop irqbalance"
 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"

Platform Notes

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

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.
