SMT: Acronym for "Simultaneous Multi-Threading". A processor technology that allows
the simultaneous execution of multiple thread contexts within a single processor
core. (Enabled by default)
ESSL: Engineering and Scientific Subroutine Library
DCM: Acronym for "Dual-Chip Module" (one dual-core processor chip + one L3-cache chip)
SUT: Acronym for "System Under Test"
C: IBM XL C for AIX invoked as xlc
Fortran: IBM XL Fortran for AIX invoked as xlf90
APAR IY 62534 was applied to AIX to enable new hardware support.
ulimits set to unlimited.
Large page mode and memory affinity were set as follows:
vmo -r -o lgpg_regions=400 -o lgpg_size=16777216 -o memory_affinity=1
chuser capabilities=CAP_BYPASS_RAC_VMM,CAP_PROPAGATE $USER
shutdown -r
export MEMORY_AFFINITY=MCM
One core was deconfigured and SMT disabled at the open-firmware prompt, using the
command
boot -s cpu=1 -s smt_off
