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.

12800 16M large pages defined with vmo command

General Notes

Environment variables set by runspec before the start of the run:
 MALLOCOPTIONS = "pool"
 MEMORY_AFFINITY = "MCM"
 XLFRTEOPTS = "intrinthds=1"

 The "IBM Power 750 Express (3.61 GHz)" and the "IBM Power 755 (3.61 GHz)"
 are electronically equivalent. The results have been measured on the
 "IBM Power Express 750 (3.61 GHz)".
