What I meant was that you can run a program on the Origin with the dplace
utility using a commmand line like this.

dplace -data_pagesize 256k -stack_pagesize 16k -text_pagesize 64k a.out

and experiment with different page sizes for data, text and stack. I
wasn't aware of any way to do this on Intel machines.
