Submit Notes

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

Operating System Notes

'ulimit -s unlimited' was used to set the stacksize to unlimited prior to run

Platform Notes

vm.zone_reclaim_mode = 1 in /etc/sysctl.conf file
BIOS Settings:
Power Management = Maximum Performance (Default = Active Power Controller)

General Notes

 The Dell PowerEdge R910 and the Bull NovaScale R480 F2 models are electronically equivalent.
 The results have been measured on a Dell PowerEdge R910 model.
