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

Transparent hugepage disabled: "echo never > /sys/kernel/mm/redhat_transparent_hugepage/enabled" before the run.

Set vm/nr_hugepages=43008 in /etc/sysctl.conf
"nodev	/mnt/hugepages	hugetlbfs	defaults 0 0" set in /etc/fstab

General Notes

Environment variables set by runspec before the start of the run:
HUGETLB_LIMIT = "896"
LD_LIBRARY_PATH = "/cpu2006/amd1104-rate-libs-revC/32:/cpu2006/amd1104-rate-libs-revC/64"

The x86 Open64 Compiler Suite is only available from (and supported by) AMD at
http://developer.amd.com/cpu/open64

Binaries were compiled on a system with 2x AMD Opteron 6274 chips + 64GB Memory using RHEL 6.1
