Submit Notes
The numactl mechanism was used to bind copies to processors. The config file option 'submit' was used to generate numactl commands to bind each copy to a specific processor. For details, please see the config file.
Operating System Notes
Stack size set to unlimited using "ulimit -s unlimited" Transparent Huge Pages enabled with: echo always > /sys/kernel/mm/redhat_transparent_hugepage/enabled Filesystem page cache cleared with: echo 1 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches runspec command invoked through numactl i.e.: numactl --interleave=all runspec <etc> Drive Write Cache set to Enabled in HP Array Configuration Utility, CLI version Accelerator Ratio for Reads/Writes set to = 100% Read / 0% Write in HP Array Configuration Utility, CLI version
