Submit Notes

The config file option 'submit' was used.
'numactl' was used to bind copies to the cores.
See the configuration file for details.

Operating System Notes

'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=5400 in /etc/sysctl.conf
mount -t hugetlbfs nodev /mnt/hugepages
Processor Performance States Disabled in BIOS
Memory ChipKill Disabled in BIOS
