Operating System Notes

 'ulimit -s unlimited' was used to set the stacksize to unlimited prior to run
 'nodev   /mnt/hugepages   hugetlbfs   defaults   0 0' added to /etc/fstab
 echo 900 > /proc/sys/vm/nr_hugepages
 export HUGETLB_MORECORE=yes
 export LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib64/libhugetlbfs.so

Platform Notes
