Submit Notes

The config file option 'submit' was used.
 numactl was used to bind copies to the cores

Operating System Notes

 'mount -t hugetlbfs nodev /mnt/hugepages' was used to enable large pages
 echo 10800 > /proc/sys/vm/nr_hugepages
 export HUGETLB_MORECORE=yes
 export LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib64/libhugetlbfs.so

Platform Notes

 Power Management = Maximum Performance (Default = Active Power Controller)

General Notes

environment variables set by runspec before the start of the run:
LD_LIBRARY_PATH = "/root/cpu2006/smartheap:/root/cpu2006/ic12.1-libs/ia32/:/root/cpu2006/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"

 runspec command invoked through numactl i.e.:
 numactl --interleave=all runspec <etc>

 The Dell PowerEdge R710 and
 the Bull NovaScale R460 F2 models are electronically equivalent.
 The results have been measured on a Dell PowerEdge R710 model
