 '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 (default)

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 Bull NovaScale R440 E1 (Intel Xeon X5460, 3.16GHz) and
 the Bull NovaScale R460 E1 (Intel Xeon X5460, 3.16GHz) models are electronically equivalent.
 The results have been measured on a NovaScale R460 E1 (Intel Xeon X5460, 3.16GHz) model.
