General Notes

'ulimit -s unlimited' was used to set environment stack size
'ulimit -l 2457600' was used to set environment locked pages in memory quantity
'numactl' was used to bind one copy per core, and memory to a local NUMA node
Set vm/nr_hugepages=1200 in /etc/sysctl.conf
mount -t hugetlbfs nodev /mnt/hugepages
Environment variable PGI_HUGE_PAGES set to 150
