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
 'nodev   /mnt/hugepages   hugetlbfs   defaults   0 0' added to /etc/fstab
 echo 36000 > /proc/sys/vm/nr_hugepages
 export HUGETLB_MORECORE=yes
 export LD_PRELOAD=/usr/lib64/libhugetlbfs.so

Platform Notes

 Load Default BIOS Settings and then change the following
   Turbo Boost Power Optimization set to Traditional
