  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

 APAR IY62267 was applied to AIX 53 to achieve Mantainence 1 Level.
  ulimits set to unlimited.
  Large page mode and memory affinity were set as follows:
     vmo -r -o lgpg_regions=8192 -o lgpg_size=16777216 -o memory_affinity=1 -o v_pinshm=1
     chuser capabilities=CAP_BYPASS_RAC_VMM,CAP_PROPAGATE $USER
     shutdown -r
     export MEMORY_AFFINITY=MCM

  The following config-file entry was used to assign each benchmark process to a core:
     submit = schedule.128 \$SPECUSERNUM $command
  with the "schedule.128" function defined as follows:
     #!/bin/ksh
     index=$1
     shift 1                         # Strip off the residual arguments; the rest is the command.
     if [[ $index -ge 64 ]]
     then
         target=$((1+2*(index-64)))
     else
         target=$((2*index))
     fi
     bindprocessor $$ $target        # Schedule this job to the corresponding core.
     $*                              # Now run the command.

  The "bindprocessor" AIX command binds a process to a CPU core.
