Submit Notes

The config file option 'submit' was used.
 'numactl' was used to bind copies to the cores

Operating System Notes

 The libhugetlbfs libraries were installed using the
 installation rpms that came with the distribution.

 'ulimit -s unlimited' was used to set environment stack size
 'ulimit -l 2097152'  was used to set environment locked pages in memory limit

 Set vm/nr_hugepages=7168 in /etc/sysctl.conf
 mount -t hugetlbfs nodev /mnt/hugepages

 Environment variables set by runspec before the start of the run:
 HUGETLB_MORECORE = "yes"
 LD_LIBRARY_PATH = "/cpu2006/amd909gh-libs/64:/cpu2006/amd909gh-libs/32"
 NCPUS = "4"

 Processor Performance States Disabled in BIOS
