       This platform flags file is supplied as an example. Please document bios/firmware settings in your
       systems that are set to non-default values for performance runs.  

       You MUST change the filename tag just below; at the very least, change "Invalid" to your company name.

<dt><b>cpupower:</b></dt> 
 <dd>
  The OS 'cpupower' utility is used to change CPU power governors settings. Available settings are: 
  <ul>
      <li>Performance: Run the CPU at the maximum frequency.</li>      

      <li> powersave(default): Run the CPU at the minimum frequency.</li>
  </ul>

<dt><b>Patrol Scrub:</b></dt> 
 <dd>
  Patrol scrubbing is a mechanism for the memory controller to periodically read all memory locations and write back corrected data.
  The time interval for scrubbing the entire memory is defaulted to 24-hour period. Values for this BIOS option can be: Enabled/Disabled. Current default is Enabled.
 </dd>

<dt><b>Intel VT for Directed I/O (VT-d):</b></dt> 
 <dd>
 Intel Virtualization Technology for Directed I/O (VT-d) by reporting the I/O device assignment to VMM through DMAR ACPI Tables. Values for this BIOS option can be: Enabled/Disabled. Current default is Enabled.
 </dd>

<dt><b>Hyper-Threading[ALL]:</b></dt> 
 <dd>
  Enables Hyper Threading(Software Method to Enable Logical Processor threads. Values for this BIOS option can be: Enabled/Disabled. Current default is Enabled.
 </dd>

<dt><b>SNC:</b></dt> 
 <dd>
  Sub NUMA Clustering (SNC) is a feature for breaking up the LLC into disjoint clusters based on address range, with each cluster bound to a subset of the memory controllers in the system.
  It improves average latency to the LLC and is an important pre-requisite to enabling KTI prefetch and is a replacement for the Cluster-on-Die feature found in previous processors. Values for this BIOS option can be: Auto/Enabled/Disabled. 
  Current default is Auto ( Set to MRC default, current default is disabled).
 </dd>

<dt><b>IMC Interleaving:</b></dt> 
 <dd>
  This BIOS option controls the interleaving between the Integrated Memory Controllers (IMCs). 
  If IMC Interleaving is set to two-way, the memory addresses will be interleaved between the two IMCs. 
  If IMC Interleaving is set to one-way, there will be no interleaving. If SNC is enabled, you want one -way interleave. 
  If SNC is disabled, you want two -way interleave. (See also Sub-NUMA Cluster.) Values for this BIOS option can be: 
  <ul>
	<li>One-way: no interleaving </li>
	<li>Two-way: interleaving </li>
                  <li>Auto: Set to MRC default, current default is two-way interleaving</li>
  </ul>
 Current default is Auto.
 </dd>
 
<dt><b>SR-IOV Support:</b></dt> 
 <dd>
  In virtualization, single root input/output virtualization or SR-IOV is a specification that allows the isolation of the PCI Express resources for manageability and performance reasons.
  A single physical PCI Express can be shared on a virtual environment using the SR-IOV specification.
  If system has SR-IOV capable PCIe Devices, this option Enables or Disables Single Root IO Virtualization Support. Values for this BIOS option can be: Enabled/Disabled. Current default is Enabled.
 </dd>

<dt><b>ENERGY_PERF_BIAS_CFG mode:</b></dt> 
 <dd>
  This BIOS option allows for processor performance and power optmization. Available settings are:
  <ul>
	  <li>Performance: High performance with less need for power saving.</li>
	  <li>Balanced Performance (Default Setting): Provides optimal performance efficiency.</li>
	  <li>Balanced Power: Provides optimal power efficiency.</li>
	  <li>Power: High power saving with less need for performance.</li>
  </ul>
 </dd>

<dt><b>CPU C6 report:</b></dt> 
 <dd>
  Enable/Disable CPU C6(ACPI C3) report to OS. During the CPU C6 State, the power to all cache is turned off. Current default is Enable.
 </dd>
