Operating System Notes
AIX 5.3 Updated with the 5300-06 Technology Level ulimits set to unlimited Envionment variables set before executing benchmarks: MALLOCOPTIONS=pool MEMORY_AFFINITY=MCM XLFRTEOPTS=intrinthds=1 System set to "Enhanced" mode when defining partition on HMC bindprocessor command used on submit to bind each copy to a unique processor. Large page mode was set as follows: vmo -r -o lgpg_regions=768 -o lgpg_size=16777216
