General Notes
See flags file of details on following settings. all ulimits set to unlimited. Envionment variables set before executing benchmarks: MALLOCOPTIONS=pool MEMORY_AFFINITY=MCM XLFRTEOPTS=intrinthds=1 System set to "Enhanced" mode when defining partition on HMC. 500 16M large pages defined with vmo command Remote console disabled in /etc/inittab. fdpr binary optimization tool used for: 400.perlbench 401.bzip2 403.gcc 429.mcf 456.hmmer 458.sjent 462.libquantum 464.h264ref 473.astar Measurement has been done on a PL260 with one core disabled by HMC. PL260 and PL160 are identical machines; the only difference is that PL160 uses a single core POWER6 chip instead a dual core chip.
