Submit Notes

 The numactl mechanism was used to bind copies to processors. The config file option 'submit'
 was used to generate numactl commands to bind each copy to a specific processor.
 For details, please see the config file.

Operating System Notes

 Stack size set to unlimited using "ulimit -s unlimited"

Platform Notes

 BIOS Settings:
  Energy Performance: Performance
  Memory Voltage: 1.5 V

General Notes

Environment variables set by runspec before the start of the run:
LD_LIBRARY_PATH = "/home/cpu2006/libs/32:/home/cpu2006/libs/64"

 Added glibc-static-2.12-1.47.el6.x86_64.rpm
 to enable static linking

 Transparent Huge Pages enabled with:
 echo always > /sys/kernel/mm/redhat_transparent_hugepage/enabled
 Filesystem page cache cleared with:
 echo 1>       /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches
 runspec command invoked through numactl i.e.:
 numactl --interleave=all runspec <etc>
