Submit Notes
The config file option 'submit' was used to assign benchmark copy to specific kernel thread using the "bindprocessor" command (see flags file for details).
Operating System Notes
all ulimits set to unlimited. 3200 16M large pages defined with vmo command
Platform Notes
System set to "Enhanced" mode when defining partition on HMC.
General Notes
Environment variables set by runspec before the start of the run: MALLOCOPTIONS = "pool" MEMORY_AFFINITY = "MCM" XLFRTEOPTS = "intrinthds=1" See the flags file for details on settings.
