Operating System Notes

 'ulimit -s unlimited' was used to set the stacksize to unlimited prior to run
 '/usr/bin/taskset' used to bind processes to CPUs
  OMP_NUM_THREADS set to number of cores

Platform Notes

Bios settings:
Intel SpeedStep Technology: Disabled

General Notes

All benchmarks compiled in 64-bit mode except 437.leslie3d,
450.soplex, 470.lbm and 482.sphinx3, for peak, are
compiled in 32-bit mode
 The NEC Express5800/120Lj(Intel Xeon E5420) and
 the Bull NovaScale T860 E1(Intel Xeon E5420,2.50GHz) models are electronically equivalent.
 The results have been measured on a NEC Express5800/120Lj(Intel Xeon E5420) model.
