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
AIX updated to V7.1 TL3 SP4 All ulimits set to unlimited. Set 8 threads per core via "smtctl -t 8 -w boot" 51200 16M large pages defined with vmo command
General Notes
Environment variables set by runspec before the start of the run: MALLOCOPTIONS = "pool" MEMORY_AFFINITY = "MCM" XLFRTEOPTS = "intrinthds=1"
