This flags file provides additional information about how the Sun Blade 6275 M2 was tested with multiple nodes active, using a perl procedure to distribute jobs across cores.
The procedure submit.pl The config file option 'submit' was used, along with submit.pl to distribute jobs to two nodes of Sun Blade X6275 M2 server module. It also uses 'numactl' to bind processes to cores. The procedure is below.
