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:
    Power Profile set to Maximum Performance
    Thermal Configuration set to Maximum Cooling
    Processor Power and Utilization Monitoring set to Disabled
    Memory Patrol Scrubbing set to Disabled
    Cluster Model set to SNC-4
