Submit Notes

The config file option 'submit' was used.
 'numactl' was used to bind copies to the cores.

General Notes

The libhugetlbfs libraries were installed using the
installation rpms that came with the distribution.

'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=7168 in /etc/sysctl.conf
mount -t hugetlbfs nodev /mnt/hugepages

Environment variables set by runspec before the start of the run:
LD_LIBRARY_PATH = "/root/work/cpu2006v1.1/pgi72/linux_lib64:/root/work/cpu2006v1.1/pgi72/linux_lib32"
PGI_HUGE_PAGES = "7168"
NCPUS = "8"
The powersaved was disabled, set the CPU frequency to its maximum.
Memory ChipKill Disabled in BIOS
