Operating System Notes
'ulimit -s unlimited' was used to set the stacksize to unlimited prior to run '/usr/bin/taskset' used to bind processes to CPUs OMP_NUM_THREADS set to number of cores (default)
General Notes
All benchmarks compiled in 32-bit mode except 401.bzip2 and 456.hmmer, for peak, are compiled in 64-bit mode The Bull NovaScale R440 E1 (Intel Xeon E5420, 2.50GHz) and the Bull NovaScale R460 E1 (Intel Xeon E5420, 2.50GHz) models are electronically equivalent. The results have been measured on a NovaScale R460 E1 (Intel Xeon E5420, 2.50GHz) model.
