Submit Notes

 The numactl mechanism was used to bind copies to processors. The config file option 'submit'
 was used to generate numactl commands to bind each copy to a specific processor.
 For details, please see the config file.

Operating System Notes

 Stack size set to unlimited using "ulimit -s unlimited"

Environment Variables Notes

Environment variables set by runcpu before the start of the run:
LD_LIBRARY_PATH =
     "/mnt/ramdisk/cpu2017-1.1.9-ic2024.1/lib/intel64:/mnt/ramdisk/cpu2017-1.1.9-ic2024.1/lib/ia32:/mnt/ram
     disk/cpu2017-1.1.9-ic2024.1/je5.0.1-32"
MALLOC_CONF = "retain:true"

General Notes

 Binaries compiled on a system with 2x Intel Xeon Platinum 8280M CPU + 384GB RAM
 memory using Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.4
 Transparent Huge Pages enabled by default
 Prior to runcpu invocation
 Filesystem page cache synced and cleared with:
 sync; echo 3>       /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches
 runcpu command invoked through numactl i.e.:
 numactl --interleave=all runcpu <etc>

 NA: The test sponsor attests, as of date of publication, that CVE-2017-5754 (Meltdown)
 is mitigated in the system as tested and documented.
 Yes: The test sponsor attests, as of date of publication, that CVE-2017-5753 (Spectre variant 1)
 is mitigated in the system as tested and documented.
 Yes: The test sponsor attests, as of date of publication, that CVE-2017-5715 (Spectre variant 2)
 is mitigated in the system as tested and documented.

 Benchmark run from a 60 GB ramdisk created with the cmd: "mount -t tmpfs -o size=60G tmpfs /mnt/ramdisk"
