General Notes
All benchmarks compiled in 32-bit mode except 401.bzip2, 456.hmmer, for peak, are compiled in 64-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.
