What steps will reproduce the problem?
1.run stressapptest with the command "stressapptest -s 3600"
2.
3.

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
We expect the result should be 62000 on all machines, but the fact is that some 
machines get the result less than 40000, some machines get the result which is 
62000.
And it could be reproduced always.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
Stats: SAT revision 1.0.4_autoconf, 64 bit binary
os version is CentOS 4.3, and kernel 2.6.32

Please provide any additional information below.
The machines which run fail had run pass when be changed to REDHAT 6.5.

Can you attach a logfile of the expected and unexpected results?

The issue is that it seems memory bandwidth is lower on some systems.

A couple ideas for issues to check: 
* Do they have dimms with different dram type? 
* Are there any thermal events in the logfiles? Any temperature difference 
between the pass and fail systems cpu?
* Same cpu frequency and model? 
* The "i7z" tool can display turbo configs, which should show any variation 
perf by frequency or throttling in the cpu if you are using intel. 
* Any memory thermal throttling? 
* Anything running on the machine taking up cpu or dram cycles, maybe check top 
and /proc/interrupts? 
* Does the slowness also occur on other memory benchmarks?
