Submit Notes

The config file option 'submit' was used.
A submit.pl script was used to distribute benchmark
copies across the 2 blades and to pin processes
to cores using dplace.  Each blade runs a separate
instance of the operating system.

General Notes

Adjacent cache line prefetch enabled
System has 2 blades with 2 chips/blade.
