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"
 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>
 Disabled unused Linux services through "stop_services.sh" before running.

Platform Notes

 BIOS Configuration:
  HP Power Profile set to Maximum Performance
  Collaborative Power Control set to Disabled
  Thermal Configuration set to Maximum Cooling
  Processor Power and Utilization Monitoring set to Disabled
  Memory Refresh Rate set to Disabled

 (End of data from sysinfo program)
 Regarding the sysinfo display about the memory installed, the correct amount of
 memory is 1 TB and the dmidecode description should have one line reading as:
    64x HP 712383-081 16 GB 1333 MHz 2 rank

General Notes

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

 Binaries compiled on a system with 1x Core i7-860 CPU + 8GB
 memory using RedHat EL 6.4

Assuming that the memory populations rules found in the DL580 Gen8
QuickSpecs are followed, HP supports memory running at 1333 MHz on
the E7-4850 v2, E7-4830 v2, E7-4820 v2, or E7-4809 v2 processors with
any BIOS prior to the 1.03_06-27-2014 ROM. Any BIOS that is the
1.03_06-27-2014 ROM or later, does not support the memory running at
1333 MHz due to a change in the Intel MRC (Memory Reference Code).
