Submit Notes
The config file option 'submit' was used. numactl was used to bind copies to the cores
Operating System Notes
echo 1 > /proc/sys/vm/zone_reclaim_mode
Platform Notes
Turbo Boost set to Traditional
General Notes
'ulimit -s unlimited' was used to set the stack size to unlimited prior to run Binaries were compiled on SLES 10 with Binutils 2.18.50.0.7.20080502
