Compiler Invocation Notes
Sun Studio compiler patches are available at
http://developers.sun.com/sunstudio/downloads/patches/ss12_patches.jsp
Submit Notes
Processes were assigned to specific processors using 'pbind' commands. The config file option 'submit' was used, along with a list of processors in the 'BIND' variable, to generate the pbind commands. (For details, please see the config file.)
Operating System Notes
Environment Variable Settings:
ulimit -s 131072 was used to limit the space consumed
by the stack (making more space available for the heap)
System Tunables (/etc/system parameters):
tune_t_fsflushr=10
Controls how many seconds elapse between runs of the
page flush daemon, fsflush.
autoup=600
Causes pages older than the listed number of seconds to
be written by fsflush.
bufhwm=3000
Memory byte limit for caching I/O buffers
segmap_percent=1
Set maximum percent memory for file system cache
Other System Settings:
The webconsole service was turned off using
svcadm disable webconsole
Platform Notes
Memory is 8-way interleaved by filling all slots with the same capacity DIMMs. This result is measured on a Sun SPARC Enterprise M4000 Server. Note that the Sun SPARC Enterprise M4000 and Fujitsu SPARC Enterprise M4000 are electrically equivalent.
