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, except for 436.cactusADM at peak
  OMP_NUM_THREADS set to number of cores
  KMP_AFFINITY set to physical,0
  KMP_STACKSIZE set to 64M

Platform Notes

BIOS configuration:
  Power Regulator set to Static High Performance Mode
  Adjacent Sector Prefetch Disabled
  Hardware Prefetcher Disabled

General Notes

The ProLiant BL2x220c G5 is comprised of two independent server nodes in a single
chassis. Only one of the server nodes was used for this benchmark; the other server
node was idle during the benchmark. The active server node contained all of the CPUs
and memory described in this disclosure.
