Submit Notes

The config file option 'submit' was used.
'numactl' was used to bind copies to the cores.
See the configuration file for details.

Operating System Notes

'ulimit -s unlimited' was used to set environment stack size
'ulimit -l 2097152' was used to set environment locked pages in memory limit

runspec command invoked through numactl i.e.:
numactl --interleave=all runspec <etc>

Set dirty_ratio=8 to limit dirty cache to 8% of memory
Set swappiness=1 to swap only if necessary
Set zone_reclaim_mode=1 to free local node memory and avoid remote memory
sync then drop_caches=3 to reset caches before invoking runcpu

dirty_ratio, swappiness, zone_reclaim_mode and drop_caches were
all set using privileged echo (e.g. echo 1 > /proc/sys/vm/swappiness).

Transparent huge pages were enabled for this run (OS default)

Huge pages were not configured for this run.

General Notes

Environment variables set by runcpu before the start of the run:
LD_LIBRARY_PATH = "/opt/cpu2017/amd1704-rate-libs-revC/64;/opt/cpu2017/amd1704-rate-libs-revC/32:"
MALLOC_CONF = "lg_chunk:28"

The AMD64 AOCC Compiler Suite is available at
http://developer.amd.com/amd-aocc/

Binaries were compiled on a system with 2x AMD EPYC 7601 CPU + 512GB Memory using RHEL 7.4

jemalloc, a general purpose malloc implementation, was obtained at
https://github.com/jemalloc/jemalloc/releases/download/4.5.0/jemalloc-4.5.0.tar.bz2
jemalloc was built with GCC v4.8.5 in RHEL v7.2 under default conditions.
jemalloc uses environment variable MALLOC_CONF with values narenas and lg_chunk:
  narenas: sets the maximum number of arenas to use for automatic multiplexing
           of threads and arenas.
  lg_chunk: set the virtual memory chunk size (log base 2). For example,
            lg_chunk:21 sets the default chunk size to 2^21 = 2MiB.

The AOCC Gold Linker plugin was installed and used for the link stage.

The AOCC Fortran Plugin version 1.0 was used to leverage AOCC optimizers
with gfortran. It is available here:
http://developer.amd.com/amd-aocc/
NA: The test sponsor attests, as of date of publication, that CVE-2017-5754 (Meltdown)
is mitigated in the system as tested and documented.
Yes: The test sponsor attests, as of date of publication, that CVE-2017-5753 (Spectre variant 1)
is mitigated in the system as tested and documented.
Yes: The test sponsor attests, as of date of publication, that CVE-2017-5715 (Spectre variant 2)
