Submit Notes

 The numactl mechanism was used to bind copies to processors. The config file option 'submit'
 was used to generate numactl commands to bind each copy to a specific processor.
 For details, please see the config file.

Operating System Notes

 Stack size set to unlimited using "ulimit -s unlimited"
 Transparent Huge Pages enabled by default
 Filesystem page cache cleared with:
    echo 1 >      /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches
 runspec command invoked through numactl i.e.:
    numactl --interleave=all runspec <etc>

Platform Notes

 BIOS Configuration:
    Power Profile set to Maximum Performance
    Thermal Configuration set to Maximum Cooling
    Processor Power and Utilization Monitoring set to Disabled
    Memory Patrol Scrubbing set to Disabled

    Warning: Use caution when you interpret this section. The 'dmidecode' program
    reads system data which is "intended to allow hardware to be accurately
    determined", but the intent may not be met, as there are frequent changes to
    hardware, firmware, and the "DMTF SMBIOS" standard.
