Submit Notes

The config file option 'submit' was used.
Benchmarks bound to a processor using numactl on the submit command.

Operating System Notes

 ulimit -s (stack) set to 1048576.
 Large pages reserved as follows by root user:
     echo 14080 > /proc/sys/vm/nr_hugepages
 System configured with libhugetlbfs library for application access to large pages
 Environment variables set before executing benchmarks.
     export HUGETLB_VERBOSE=0
