Submit Notes

 The numactl mechanism was used to bind copies to processors. The config file option 'submit'
 was used to generate numactl commands to bind each copy to a specific processor.
 For details, please see the config file.

Operating System Notes

Stack size set to unlimited using "ulimit -s unlimited"
Transparent Huge Pages enabled with:
 echo always > /sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/enabled
Filesystem page cache cleared with:
 echo 1>       /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches
runspec command invoked through numactl i.e.:
 numactl --interleave=all runspec <etc>

Platform Notes

BIOS Configuration:
   HP Power Profile set to Maximum Performance
   QPI Snoop Configuration set to Early Snoop
   Thermal Configuration set so Maximum Cooling
   Processor Power and Utilization Monitoring set to Disabled
   Memory Refresh Rate set to 1x Refresh
