  SMT: Acronym for "Simultaneous Multi-Threading". A processor technology that allows
       the simultaneous execution of multiple thread contexts within a single processor
       core. (Enabled by default)
  MCM: Acronym for "Multi-Chip Module" (four dual-core processor chips + four L3-cache chips)
       This system contains 8 MCMs.
  SUT: Acronym for "System Under Test"
  ESSL: Engineering and Scientific Subroutine Library

  C:       IBM XL C for AIX invoked as xlc
  Fortran: IBM XL Fortran for AIX invoked as xlf90

  APAR IY60349 was applied to AIX to enable new hardware support.
  ulimits set to unlimited.
  Large page mode and memory affinity were set as follows:
     vmo -r -o lgpg_regions=7000 -o lgpg_size=16777216 -o memory_affinity=1
     chuser capabilities=CAP_BYPASS_RAC_VMM,CAP_PROPAGATE $USER
     shutdown -r
     export MEMORY_AFFINITY=MCM

  SMT was disabled at the open-firmware prompt, using the command
             boot -s smt_off
  The following config-file entry was used to assign each benchmark process to a core:
     use_submit_for_speed = 1
     submit = let "MYCPU=\$SPECUSERNUM"; bindprocessor \$\$ \$MYCPU; $command
  The "bindprocessor" AIX command binds a process to a CPU core.
