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

 all ulimits set to unlimited.
 2000 16M large pages defined with vmo command

Platform Notes

 System set to "Enhanced" mode when defining partition on HMC.

General Notes

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

 See the flags file for details on settings.
