Submit Notes

The config file option 'submit' was used.
'numactl' was used to bind copies to the cores.
See the configuration file for details.

Operating System Notes

'ulimit -s unlimited' was used to set environment stack size
'ulimit -l 2097152'  was used to set environment locked pages in memory limit

Set transparent_hugepage=never as a boot parameter in /boot/grub/menu.lst

Set vm/nr_hugepages=28672 in /etc/sysctl.conf
mount -t hugetlbfs nodev /mnt/hugepages

Platform Notes

 BIOS configuration:
  HP Power Profile set to Maximum Performace
  Thermal Configuration set to Maximum Cooling
  Collaborative Power Control set to Disable
  Minimum Processor Idle Power C1e State to Enabled
  Processor Power and Utilization Monitoring set to Disable

General Notes

Environment variables set by runspec before the start of the run:
HUGETLB_LIMIT = "896"
LD_LIBRARY_PATH = "/cpu2006/amd1206-rate-libs-revA/32:/cpu2006/amd1206-rate-libs-revA/64"
