Submit Notes
The config file option 'submit' was used. taskset was used to bind processes to cores except for 462.libquantum peak
Operating System Notes
'ulimit -s unlimited' was used to set the stacksize to unlimited prior to run OMP_NUM_THREADS set to number of cores KMP_AFFINITY set to "physical,0" KMP_STACKSIZE set to 64M
Platform Notes
This Express5800/320Fd-MR is a fault-tolerant server. Two modules are installed in this server. Each module physically has "1CPU chips,24GB memory", The total physical configuration is "2CPU chips,48GB memory". Using fault-tolerant lockstep technology, these two modules communicate with each other and execute the same instructions at the same time, The operating system only sees "1CPU chips,24GB memory" as the other components add only redundancy and do not contribute to any performance benefit.
General Notes
The NEC Express5800/320Fd-MR(Intel Xeon E5450) and the Bull NovaScale R630 E1 MR(Intel Xeon E5450, 3.00 GHz) models are electronically equivalent. The results have been measured on a NEC Express5800/320Fd-MR(Intel Xeon E5450) model.
