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/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>

 Additional information from dmidecode:

    Warning: Use caution when you interpret this section. The 'dmidecode' program
    reads system data which is "intended to allow hardware to be accurately
    determined", but the intent may not be met, as there are frequent changes to
    hardware, firmware, and the "DMTF SMBIOS" standard.

   Memory:

    8x UNKNOWN NOT AVAILABLE 32 GB 2 rank 2400 MHz, configured at 2133 MHz

 (End of data from sysinfo program)
 Regarding the sysinfo display about the memory installed, the correct amount of
 memory is 256 GB and the dmidecode description should have one line reading as:
 8x UNKNOWN NOT AVAILABLE 32 GB 2 rank 2400 MHz, configured at 2133 MHz
