Operating System Notes

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

Platform Notes

Default BIOS Settings were used, except:
  Intel Hyperthreading Options Disabled

General Notes

 OMP_NUM_THREADS set to number of cores
 KMP_AFFINITY set to granularity=fine,scatter
 KMP_STACKSIZE set to 200M
 Binaries were compiled on RHEL5.5
 Though binaries were linked with hugepages, this result did not use hugepages.
