SEGFAULT
Our segfault system is a Fujitsu-Technology PRIMERGY RX600 S6 machine mainly intended for simulations in the context of computational seismology. It is an Intel Westmere-EX based machine with 40 cores that can run 80 threads (near) simultaneously making use of Intel's hyper-threading technology.
The figure on the right, which was generated with the lstopo tool of the Portable Hardware Locality (hwloc) package, provides an overview of the hierarchical hardware topology of the system.
