Compiler Invocation Notes
Sun Studio 12 Update 1 was used, plus patch 119963-17 Sun Studio compiler patches are available at http://developers.sun.com/sunstudio/downloads/patches/ss12u1_patches.jsp
Submit Notes
Processes were assigned to specific processors using 'pbind' commands. The config file option 'submit' was used, along with a list of processors in the 'BIND' variable, to generate the pbind commands. (For details, please see the config file.)
Operating System Notes
ulimit -s 131072 was used to allow the stack to grow
up to 131072 KB (aka 128 MB). Note that saying "131072"
is preferable to "unlimited", because there is a tradeoff
between space for the stack vs. space for the heap.
System Tunables (/etc/system parameters):
tune_t_fsflushr=10
Controls how many seconds elapse between runs of the
page flush daemon, fsflush.
autoup=600
Causes pages older than the listed number of seconds to
be written by fsflush.
zfs:zfs_arc_max = 0x10000000
Control the amount of memory used by ZFS for caching
lpg_alloc_prefer=1
Prefer local pages, even if not easily available
Other System Settings:
The webconsole service was turned off using
svcadm disable webconsole
The system had 50 GB of swap space
Platform Notes
Memory is 8-way interleaved by filling all slots with the same capacity DIMMs. This result is measured on a Sun SPARC Enterprise M5000 Server. The Sun SPARC Enterprise M5000 and the Fujitsu SPARC Enterprise M5000 are electrically equivalent.
General Notes
Environment variables set by runspec before the start of the run: OMP_NUM_THREADS = "64" SUNW_MP_PROCBIND = "true" SUNW_MP_THR_IDLE = "SPIN" (Although these variables were set prior to the run they did not affect performance, since the benchmarks were compiled in serial mode.)
