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

Set vm/nr_hugepages=10800 in /etc/sysctl.conf
mount -t hugetlbfs nodev /mnt/hugepages

Platform Notes

   Default BIOS settings used except:
   DCT Unganged Mode set to "Always" to enable Unganged Mode

General Notes

Environment variables set by runspec before the start of the run:
HUGETLB_LIMIT = "450"
LD_LIBRARY_PATH = "/ctmp0/gnana/pegasus-istanbul-sles10sp2/amd0905is-libs/64:/ctmp0/gnana/pegasus-istanbul-sles10sp2/amd0905is-libs/32"
NCPUS = "6"
PGI_HUGE_PAGES = "450"

The NFS server used was a Sun Fire X4540 containing 48 x 250GB 7200RPM SATA disks.
Connections to the clients were via gigabit ethernet.
