So the big Virtual Machine uses the 32 physical cores. 32 threads remain unused (available for VMware use) They are the second hyperthread of each physical core. -------------------------------- Extract of VMware configuration file .vmx: numvcpus = "32" cpuid.coresPerSocket = "8" memsize = "262144" scsi0:0.present = "TRUE" scsi0:0.deviceType = "scsi-hardDisk" monitor.virtual_mmu = "hardware" guestOS = "rhel6-64" sched.cpu.min = "0" sched.cpu.shares = "normal" sched.cpu.affinity = "all" sched.mem.min = "262144" sched.mem.shares = "normal" sched.mem.pin = "TRUE" -------------------------------- SPEC files placed in /spec2006, with /spec2006 mounted as tmpfs with mpol=interleave, size=256G General Notes ------------- Environment variables set by runspec before the start of the run: LD_LIBRARY_PATH = "/spec2006/smartheap:/spec2006/ic12.1-libs/ia32/:/spec2006/ic12.1-libs/intel64" Binaries compiled on a system with 1x Core i7-860 CPU + 8GB memory using RHEL5.5 with binutils-2.17.50.0.6-14.el5 Stack size set to unlimited using "ulimit -s unlimited" Transparent Huge Pages enabled with: echo always > /sys/kernel/mm/redhat_transparent_hugepage/enabled Filesystem page cache cleared with: echo 1> /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches runspec command invoked through numactl i.e.: numactl --interleave=all runspec Base Compiler Invocation ------------------------ C benchmarks: icc -m32 C++ benchmarks: icpc -m32 Base Portability Flags ---------------------- 400.perlbench: -DSPEC_CPU_LINUX_IA32 462.libquantum: -DSPEC_CPU_LINUX 483.xalancbmk: -DSPEC_CPU_LINUX Base Optimization Flags ----------------------- C benchmarks: -xSSE4.2 -ipo -O3 -no-prec-div -opt-prefetch -opt-mem-layout-trans=3 C++ benchmarks: -xSSE4.2 -ipo -O3 -no-prec-div -opt-prefetch -opt-mem-layout-trans=3 -Wl,-z,muldefs -L/smartheap -lsmartheap Base Other Flags ---------------- C benchmarks: 403.gcc: -Dalloca=_alloca Peak Compiler Invocation ------------------------ C benchmarks (except as noted below): icc -m32 400.perlbench: icc -m64 401.bzip2: icc -m64 456.hmmer: icc -m64 458.sjeng: icc -m64 C++ benchmarks: icpc -m32 Peak Portability Flags ---------------------- 400.perlbench: -DSPEC_CPU_LP64 -DSPEC_CPU_LINUX_X64 401.bzip2: -DSPEC_CPU_LP64 456.hmmer: -DSPEC_CPU_LP64 458.sjeng: -DSPEC_CPU_LP64 462.libquantum: -DSPEC_CPU_LINUX 483.xalancbmk: -DSPEC_CPU_LINUX Peak Optimization Flags ----------------------- C benchmarks: 400.perlbench: -xSSE4.2(pass 2) -prof-gen(pass 1) -ipo(pass 2) -O3(pass 2) -no-prec-div(pass 2) -prof-use(pass 2) -auto-ilp32 401.bzip2: -xSSE4.2(pass 2) -prof-gen(pass 1) -ipo(pass 2) -O3(pass 2) -no-prec-div(pass 2) -prof-use(pass 2) -opt-prefetch -auto-ilp32 -ansi-alias 403.gcc: -xSSE4.2 -ipo -O3 -no-prec-div 429.mcf: basepeak = yes 445.gobmk: -xSSE4.2(pass 2) -prof-gen(pass 1) -prof-use(pass 2) -ansi-alias -opt-mem-layout-trans=3 456.hmmer: -xSSE4.2 -ipo -O3 -no-prec-div -unroll2 -auto-ilp32 458.sjeng: -xSSE4.2(pass 2) -prof-gen(pass 1) -ipo(pass 2) -O3(pass 2) -no-prec-div(pass 2) -prof-use(pass 2) -unroll4 -auto-ilp32 462.libquantum: basepeak = yes 464.h264ref: -xSSE4.2(pass 2) -prof-gen(pass 1) -ipo(pass 2) -O3(pass 2) -no-prec-div(pass 2) -prof-use(pass 2) -unroll2 -ansi-alias C++ benchmarks: 471.omnetpp: -xSSE4.2(pass 2) -prof-gen(pass 1) -ipo(pass 2) -O3(pass 2) -no-prec-div(pass 2) -prof-use(pass 2) -ansi-alias -opt-ra-region-strategy=block -Wl,-z,muldefs -L/smartheap -lsmartheap 473.astar: basepeak = yes 483.xalancbmk: basepeak = yes Peak Other Flags ---------------- C benchmarks: 403.gcc: -Dalloca=_alloca The flags files that were used to format this result can be browsed at http://www.spec.org/cpu2006/flags/Intel-ic12.1-linux64.20111110.html http://www.spec.org/cpu2006/flags/Bull-Intel-Platform-linux64-revC.html You can also download the XML flags sources by saving the following links: http://www.spec.org/cpu2006/flags/Intel-ic12.1-linux64.20111110.xml http://www.spec.org/cpu2006/flags/Bull-Intel-Platform-linux64-revC.xml SPEC and SPECint are registered trademarks of the Standard Performance Evaluation Corporation.
