Operating System Notes

'ulimit -s unlimited' was used to set the stacksize to unlimited prior to run
'mount -t hugetlbfs nodev /mnt/hugepages' was used to enable large pages
echo 900 > /proc/sys/vm/nr_hugepages
export HUGETLB_MORECORE=yes
export LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib64/libhugetlbfs.so

General Notes

 OMP_NUM_THREADS set to number of cores
 KMP_AFFINITY set to granularity=fine,scatter
 KMP_STACKSIZE set to 200M
 Binaries compiled on RHEL5.5
