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 (default).
Platform Notes
Bios settings: Intel SpeedStep Technology: Disabled
General Notes
All benchmarks compiled in 32-bit mode except 401.bzip2 and 456.hmmer, for peak, are compiled in 64-bit mode The NEC Express5800/120Rh-1(Intel Xeon Prosessor E5420), the NEC Express5800/120Rj-2(Intel Xeon Prosessor E5420), the Bull NovaScale R440 E1 (Intel Xeon E5420,2.50GHz) and the Bull NovaScale R460 E1 (Intel Xeon E5420,2.50GHz) models are electronically equivalent. The results have been measured on a NEC Express5800/120Rj-2(Intel Xeon Prosessor E5420) model.
