Submit Notes

 numactl was used to bind copies to the cores
The config file option 'submit' was used.

Operating System Notes

 'nodev   /mnt/hugepages   hugetlbfs  defaults   0 0' added to /etc/fstab
 'ulimit -s unlimited' was used to set the stacksize to unlimited prior to run
 echo 10800 > /proc/sys/vm/nr_hugepages
 export HUGETLB_MORECORE=yes
 export LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib64/libhugetlbfs.so

Platform Notes

 BIOS configuration:
  Power Efficiency Mode set to Performance
  Data Reuse set to Disabled

General Notes

 Binaries were compiled on RHEL5.5 with Binutils binutils-2.17.50.0.6-14.el5
