Operating System Notes

 'ulimit -s unlimited' was used to set the stacksize to unlimited prior to run

General Notes

 OMP_NUM_THREADS set to number of cores
 KMP_AFFINITY set to granularity=fine,scatter
 KMP_STACKSIZE set to 200M
 The Dell PowerEdge R710 and
 the Bull NovaScale R460 F2 models are electronically equivalent.
 The results have been measured on a Bull NovaScale R460 F2 model.
