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:

The maximum number of threads a program can create was set with:
    OMP_NUM_THREADS=63

Program threads were bound to processors with:
    SUNW_MP_PROCBIND="1-63"

Behavior of parallel threads was set with:
    SUNW_MP_THR_IDLE=SPIN
SPIN specifies that an idle thread should spin while waiting at barrier
or waiting for new parallel regions to work on.

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
lpg_alloc_prefer=1
    Set lgroup page allocation to strongly prefer local pages

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 M5000 Server.
Note that the Sun SPARC Enterprise M5000 and Fujitsu SPARC Enterprise
M5000 are electrically equivalent.
