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"

 64000 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"
