Submit Notes
The config file option 'submit' was used. numactl was used to bind copies to the cores
Operating System Notes
Basic System has 32 cores / 64 threads VMware vSphere 5 is the hypervisor Bullion is booted, then configured to create one virtual machine with 32 virtual CPUs and 256GB of memory RHEL 6.1 runs in this big Virtual Machine Each virtual CPU of the Virtual Machine uses 1 of the 2 threads of a physical core. So the big Virtual Machine uses the 32 physical cores. 32 threads remain unused (available for VMware use) They are the second hyperthread of each physical core. -------------------------------- Extract of VMware configuration file .vmx: numvcpus = "32" cpuid.coresPerSocket = "8" memsize = "262144" scsi0:0.present = "TRUE" scsi0:0.deviceType = "scsi-hardDisk" monitor.virtual_mmu = "hardware" guestOS = "rhel6-64" sched.cpu.min = "0" sched.cpu.shares = "normal" sched.cpu.affinity = "all" sched.mem.min = "262144" sched.mem.shares = "normal" sched.mem.pin = "TRUE" -------------------------------- SPEC files placed in /spec2006, with /spec2006 mounted as tmpfs with mpol=interleave, size=256G
