Submit Notes
The config file option 'submit' was used. numactl was used to bind copies to the cores
Operating System Notes
'ulimit -s unlimited' was used to set the stacksize to unlimited prior to run
Platform Notes
vm.zone_reclaim_mode = 1 in /etc/sysctl.conf file BIOS Settings: Power Management = Maximum Performance (Default = Active Power Controller)
General Notes
Binaries were compiled on SLES 10 with Binutils 2.18.50.0.7.20080502
