Submit Notes

The config file option 'submit' was used.
 numactl was used to bind copies to the cores

Operating System Notes

 'ulimit -s unlimited' was used to set the stacksize to unlimited prior to run

Platform Notes

 BIOS Settings:
 Power Management = Maximum Performance (Default = Active Power Controller)
 Data Reuse = Disabled (Default = Enabled)

General Notes

 Binaries were compiled on SLES 10 with Binutils 2.18.50.0.7.20080502
 The Dell PowerEdge R510 and
 the Bull NovaScale R450 F2 models are electronically equivalent.
 The results have been measured on a Dell PowerEdge R510 model.
