General Notes
See flags file of details on following settings. all ulimits set to unlimited. Envionment variables set before executing benchmarks: MALLOCOPTIONS=pool MEMORY_AFFINITY=MCM XLFRTEOPTS=intrinthds=1 System set to "Enhanced" mode when defining partition on HMC. 500 16M large pages defined with vmo command Remote console disabled in /etc/inittab. fdpr binary optimization tool used for: 410.bwaves 433.milc 435.gromacs 436.cactusADM 453.povray 470.lbm 482.sphinx3 Measurement has been done on a PL260 with one core disabled by HMC; PL260 and PL160 are identical machines; the only difference is that PL160 uses a single core POWER6 chip instead a dual core chip.
