Submit Notes

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

Operating System Notes

Environment variables set by runspec before the start of the run:
  MALLOCOPTIONS = "pool"
  MEMORY_AFFINITY = "MCM"
  XLFRTEOPTS = "intrinthds=1"

All ulimits set to unlimited.
12800 16M large pages defined with vmo command

See the flags file for details on settings.
