Submit Notes

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

Operating System Notes

 'ulimit -s unlimited' was used to set the stacksize to unlimited prior to run

Platform Notes

 BIOS Settings:
 Power Management = Maximum Performance (Default = Active Power Controller)

General Notes

 The Dell PowerEdge R710 and
 the Bull NovaScale R460 F2 models are electronically equivalent.
 The results have been measured on a  Dell PowerEdge R710 model.
