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/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>

Platform Notes

BIOS Configuration:
 Collaborative Power Control set to Disabled
 HP Power Regulator set to HP Static High Performance Mode
 HP Power Profile set to Maximum Performance
 Thermal Configuration set to Maximum Cooling
 ACPI SLIT Preferences set to Enabled
 Processor Power Utilization Monitoring set to Disabled
 Memory Refresh set to Enabled

General Notes

Environment variables set by runspec before the start of the run:
KMP_AFFINITY = "granularity=fine,compact,1,0"
LD_LIBRARY_PATH = "/cpu2006/libs2/32:/cpu2006/libs2/64"

 Binaries compiled on a system with 2x Xeon E5-2667 CPU + 256GB
 memory using SLES11 SP2, RC3
