Compiler Invocation Notes

For more information about IBM Advance Toolchain, including support, see
ftp://ftp.unicamp.br/pub/linuxpatch/toolchain/at/redhat/RHEL6/at6.0/release_notes.at6.0-6.0-4.html

Submit Notes

   The config file option 'submit' was used
   to assign benchmark copy to specific kernel thread using
   the "numactl" command (see flags file for details).

Operating System Notes

  ulimit -s (stack) set to 1048576.

  Large pages reserved as follows by root user:
  echo 8448 > /proc/sys/vm/nr_hugepages

  The Mathematical Acceleration Subsystem libraries
  are shipped with IBM XL C/C++ version 12.1 and
  IBM XL Fortran version 14.1 compiler products.
