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

Set transparent_hugepage=never as a boot paramenter in /boot/grub/menu.lst
Set kernel/randomize_va_space=0 in /etc/sysctl.conf

Set vm/nr_hugepages=21504 in /etc/sysctl.conf
mount -t hugetlbfs nodev /mnt/hugepages

Platform Notes

 BIOS settings:
 Operating Mode set to Performance Mode

General Notes

Environment variables set by runspec before the start of the run:
HUGETLB_LIMIT = "896"
LD_LIBRARY_PATH = "/root/speccpu-rate-rev1104B1/amd1104-rate-libs-revB/32:/root/speccpu-rate-rev1104B1/amd1104-rate-libs-revB/64"

The x86 Open64 Compiler Suite is only available from (and supported by) AMD at
http://developer.amd.com/cpu/open64

Binaries were compiled on a system with 2x AMD Opteron 6282SE chips + 64GB Memory using RHEL 6.1
