Compiler Notes

The inconsistent Compiler version information under Compiler Version section is due to a discrepancy in Intel Compiler.
The correct version of C/C++ compiler is: Version 19.1.1.217 Build 20200306 Compiler for Linux
The correct version of Fortran compiler is: Version 19.1.1.217 Build 20200306 Compiler for Linux

Submit Notes

 The numactl mechanism was used to bind copies to processors. The config file option 'submit'
 was used to generate numactl commands to bind each copy to a specific processor.
 For details, please see the config file.

Operating System Notes

 Stack size set to unlimited using "ulimit -s unlimited"

Environment Variables Notes

Environment variables set by runcpu before the start of the run:
KMP_AFFINITY = "granularity=fine,compact"
LD_LIBRARY_PATH =
     "/home/cpu2017-ic19.1u1/lib/intel64:/home/cpu2017-ic19.1u1/je5.0.1-64"
MALLOC_CONF = "retain:true"
OMP_STACKSIZE = "192M"

General Notes

 Binaries compiled on a system with 1x Intel Core i9-7980XE CPU + 64GB RAM
 memory using Redhat Enterprise Linux 8.0
 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.
