General Notes
All benchmarks compiled in 32-bit mode except 401.bzip2 and 456.hmmer, for peak, are compiled in 64-bit mode Hardware Sector Prefetch Enabled and Adjacent Sector Prefetch Enabled OMP_NUM_THREADS set to number of cores KMP_AFFINITY set to physical,0 KMP_STACKSIZE set to null This result is measured on an IBM System x3500 Server. Note that the IBM System x3500 and IBM System x3400 are electrically equivalent.
