Operating System Notes

'ulimit -s unlimited' was used to set the stacksize to unlimited prior to run

Platform Notes

BIOS Settings:
Power Management = Maximum Performance (Default = Active Power Controller)
Memory Settings: Node Interleaving = Enabled (Default = Disabled)

General Notes

 Binaries were compiled on SLES 10 with Binutils 2.18.50.0.7.20080502
 The Dell PowerEdge R910 and
 the Bull NovaScale R480 F2 models are electronically equivalent.
 The results have been measured on a Dell PowerEdge R910 model.
