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
SPEC files placed in /dev/shm/cpu2006 with /dev/shm
mounted as tempfs with mpol=interleave
The mpol=interleave option sets the NUMA memory allocation
policy for all files to allocate from each node in turn.

Platform Notes

 Power Regulator set to HP Static High Performance Mode
