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
  Memory Power Savings Mode set to Maximum Performance
  Collaborative Power Control set to Disabled
  Dynamic Power Capping Functionality set to Disabled
  Thermal Configuration set to Maximum Cooling
  Processor Power and Utilization Monitoring set to Disabled
  Memory Refresh Rate set to 1x

 (End of data from sysinfo program)
 Regarding the sysinfo display about the CPU cores from /proc/cpuinfo, the correct
 mapping should display as cores 0 through 11. The mapping should read as the
 following:
    physical 0: cores 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11
    physical 1: cores 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11
