How much memory does it take to run the benchmarks?
For the Medium data set, the intention is that each benchmark in the suite be runnable with a minimum of (1) 16GB of memory for the whole system, or (2) a 1GB of memory per rank, whichever is larger. If you run one rank per processor core, which is the usual case, the second requirement implies 1GB of memory per enabled core on the system. You may find that 1GB per rank is not sufficient on your system because of other demands on memory from the OS or libraries, or that the arrangement of the process images is fragmented in memory. We expect that 2GB of memory per rank, in addition to the 16GB system minimum, should be sufficient in all cases. See the system-requirements.html document for a detailed list of individual resource requirements.
