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 Apache C++ Standard Library V4.2.1 was installed from http://stdcxx.apache.org/download.html using: gmake BUILDTYPE=8d CONFIG=gcc.config crashkernel was set to 256 MB in /etc/yaboot.conf file.
General Notes
Environment variables set by runspec before the start of the run: HUGETLB_ELFMAP = "RW" HUGETLB_MORECORE = "yes" HUGETLB_VERBOSE = "0" XLFRTEOPTS = "intrinthds=1"
