Compiler Invocation Notes

Sun Studio compiler patches are available at
    http://developers.sun.com/sunstudio/downloads/patches/ss12_patches.jsp

Submit Notes


Processes were assigned to specific processors using 'pbind' commands.  The
config file option 'submit' was used, along with a list of processors in the
'BIND' variable, to generate the pbind commands.  (For details, please see
the config file.)

Operating System Notes


Environment Variable Settings:

export LD_PRELOAD=mpss.so.1:madv.so.1
export MPSSHEAP=4MB
export MPSSSTACK=4MB
    Requests system to use 4 MB pages when possible.
export MADV access_lwp
    access_lwp requests that the next light weight process to touch
    the specified address range will access it most heavily.
ulimit -s 131072 was used to limit the space consumed
    by the stack (making more space available for the heap)

System Tunables (/etc/system parameters):

autoup=200
    Causes pages older than the listed number of seconds to
    be written by fsflush.
lpg_alloc_prefer=1
    Set lgroup page allocation to strongly prefer local pages

Other System Settings:

The webconsole service was turned off using
    svcadm disable webconsole

The SPEC toolset was bound to processors 1-511 using processor sets:
    psrset -c 1-511
    psrset -e 1 ksh

Platform Notes


Memory is 8-way interleaved by filling all slots with
the same capacity DIMMs.

This result is measured on a Sun SPARC Enterprise M9000 Server.
Note that the Sun SPARC Enterprise M9000 and Fujitsu SPARC Enterprise
M9000 are electrically equivalent.
