Submit Notes
The config file option 'submit' was used. taskset was used to bind processes to cores except for 462.libquantum peak
Operating System Notes
'ulimit -s unlimited' was used to set the stacksize to unlimited prior to run OMP_NUM_THREADS set to number of cores KMP_AFFINITY set to "physical,0" KMP_STACKSIZE set to 64M
Platform Notes
BIOS Settings: Adjacent Cache Line Prefetch = Disabled Hardware Prefetcher = Disabled
General Notes
