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 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.
