<h1>Maximizing assembly performance</h1>
<p>
Use the following tips to obtain the best performance
from the Shasta assembler.
<ul>
<li>
If you are using the Shasta executable (the simplest and recommended option),
use the following options to allocate memory
on 2MB huge pages mapped to the <code>hugetlbfs</code> filesystem.
However, this requires root privilege to be obtained via <code>sudo</code>.
Depending on your <code>sudo</code> set up, this may ask for your password,
or fail.
<pre>--memoryMode filesystem --memoryBacking 2M</pre>
<li>
Don't use macOS or Windows. Use a 64-bit Linux system instead.
The Shasta executable runs on most current 64-bit Linux distributions
and requires no set up or installation.
