 Most benchmarks are built using one or more types of 
 profile-driven feedback.  The types used are designated
 by abbreviations in the notes:

 +CFB: Code generation is optimized by the compiler, using 
       feedback from a training run.  These commands are
       done before the first compile (in phase "fdo_pre0"):

            mkdir /tmp/pp
            rm -f /tmp/pp/${baseexe}*

       and these flags are added to the first and second compiles:

            PASS1_CFLAGS = -prof_gen_noopt -prof_dir /tmp/pp
            PASS2_CFLAGS = -prof_use       -prof_dir /tmp/pp
 
      (Peak builds use /tmp/pp above; base builds use /tmp/pb.)

 +IFB: Icache usage is improved by the post-link-time optimizer 
       Spike, using feedback from a training run.  These commands
       are used (in phase "fdo_postN"):  

            mv ${baseexe} oldexe
            spike oldexe -feedback oldexe -o ${baseexe}

 +PFB: Prefetches are improved by the post-link-time optimizer 
       Spike, using feedback from a training run.  These
       commands are used (in phase "fdo_post_makeN"):

            rm -f *Counts*
            mv ${baseexe} oldexe
            pixie -stats dstride oldexe 1>pixie.out 2>pixie.err
            mv oldexe.pixie ${baseexe}

       A training run is carried out (in phase "fdo_runN"), and 
       then this command (in phase "fdo_postN"):

            spike oldexe -fb oldexe -stride_prefetch -o ${baseexe}

 When Spike is used for both Icache and Prefetch improvements, 
 only one spike command is actually issued, with the Icache 
 options followed by the Prefetch options.

 In the ES80, there are two cpus per shelf.  Each cpu has
 its own 4GB of memory.  Neither of the cpus can be 
 physically removed.  For 1 cpu results measured on a 2 cpu
 system, one cpu was turned off at boot time using the
 /etc/sysconfigtab setting "cpu_enabled_mask=0".  The cpu's
 4GB of memory was also physically removed.
