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


System Tunables (/etc/system parameters):

tune_t_fsflushr=10
    Controls how many seconds elapse between runs of the
    page flush daemon, fsflush.
autoup=300
    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=3
    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 M8000 Server.
Note that the Sun SPARC Enterprise M8000 and Fujitsu SPARC Enterprise
M8000 are electrically equivalent.
