Submit Notes
The config file option 'submit' was used to assign benchmark copy to specific kernel thread using the "numactl" command (see flags file for details).
Operating System Notes
Red Hat 7.1 guest running on PowerKVM 3.1 host ulimit -s (stack) set to unlimited Transparent huge page disabled with echo never > /sys/kernel/mm/transparent_hugepage/enabled sysctl vm.nr_hugepages=N and reboot to set large page pool
General Notes
Environment variables set by runspec before the start of the run: HUGETLB_MORECORE = "yes" HUGETLB_VERBOSE = "0" TCMALLOC_MEMFS_MALLOC_PATH = "/dev/hugepages/" XLFRTEOPTS = "intrinthds=1" This result uses the post_setup and/or bench_post_setup to drop caches. SPEC has determined that although the effect may have been negligible for this run, future submissions will not be considered rule compliant if the post_setup actions drop caches (e.g. : "echo 3 > /proc/sys/vm/drop_caches").
