Submit Notes

The config file option 'submit' was used.
'numactl' was used to bind copies to the cores.
See the configuration file for details.

Operating System Notes

'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=10800 in /etc/sysctl.conf
mount -t hugetlbfs nodev /mnt/hugepages

Platform Notes

BIOS Settings:
 Operating Mode set to Performance Mode
