Few testcases especially memory based testcases shows too much run-2-run variance when ran for say 10 iterations. But when ran with the command prefix "$numactl --membind=0" the variance went away.

This patch adds numactl parameter which can be set to true(default: false) in the job.yaml based on user's requirements.
