This section contains descriptions of flags that were included implicitly by other flags, but which do not have a permanent home at SPEC.
Enable O2 optimizations plus more aggressive optimizations, such as prefetching, scalar replacement, and loop and memory access transformations. Enable optimizations for maximum speed, such as:
On IA-32 and Intel EM64T processors, when O3 is used with options -ax or -x (Linux) or with options /Qax or /Qx (Windows), the compiler performs more aggressive data dependency analysis than for O2, which may result in longer compilation times. The O3 optimizations may not cause higher performance unless loop and memory access transformations take place. The optimizations may slow down code in some cases compared to O2 optimizations. The O3 option is recommended for applications that have loops that heavily use floating-point calculations and process large data sets.
Enable optimizations for speed. This is the generally recommended
optimization level. This option also enables:
- Inlining of intrinsics
- Intra-file interprocedural optimizations, which include:
- inlining
- constant propagation
- forward substitution
- routine attribute propagation
- variable address-taken analysis
- dead static function elimination
- removal of unreferenced variables
- The following capabilities for performance gain:
- constant propagation
- copy propagation
- dead-code elimination
- global register allocation
- global instruction scheduling and control speculation
- loop unrolling
- optimized code selection
- partial redundancy elimination
- strength reduction/induction variable simplification
- variable renaming
- exception handling optimizations
- tail recursions
- peephole optimizations
- structure assignment lowering and optimizations
- dead store elimination
Enable optimizations for speed and disables some optimizations that increase code size and affect speed.
To limit code size, this option:
The O1 option may improve performance for applications with very large code size, many branches, and execution time not dominated by code within loops.
-O1 sets the following options:Tells the compiler the maximum number of times to unroll loops. For example -funroll-loops0 would disable unrolling of loops.
-fno-builtin disables inline expansion for all intrinsic functions.
This option trades off floating-point precision for speed by removing the restriction to conform to the IEEE standard.
EBP is used as a general-purpose register in optimizations.
Places each function in its own COMDAT section.
Flushes denormal results to zero.
"cpupower frequency-set" provides a simplified mechanism to adjust processor frequencies when cpu frequency scaling is enabled in the OS. See the cpupower-frequency-set man page for details.Here is a brief description of options used in the config file. By default, settings are applied to all logical cpus in the system.Frequencies can be passed in Hz, kHz (default), MHz, GHz, or THz by postfixing the value with the desired unit name, without any space. Available frequencies and governors can be determined with "cpupower frequency-info".
The 'tuned' provides a number of predefined profiles for typical use cases. The 'tuned-adm' command is used to change settings of the tuned daemon. The tuned-adm command can query current settings, list available profiles, recommend a tuning profile for the system, change profiles directly, or turn off tuning.

Enabling this option allows to use processor resources more efficiently, enabling multiple threads to run on each core and increases processor throughput, improving overall performance on threaded software.
Single LP: Run a single logical processor per core.
Values for this BIOS setting can be: Custom: Allows the user to setup all of the BIOS options according to their requirement. Performance: Maximize the performance of the server. Efficiency: Maximize the power efficiency of the server. Load Balance: The system's performance and power consumption will be adjusted automatically according to the loading.
Enable or disable reporting of the CPU C6 State (ACPI C3) to the OS.
When set to Enabled, the processor is allowed to switch to nimimum performance and save power when idle.
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.
Values for this BIOS option can be:
Disabled: SNC disabled will support 1-cluster and 4-way IMC interleave.
Enable SNC2 (2-clusters): SNC2 Enabled supports 2-clusters SNC and 2-way IMC interleave.
Enable SNC4 (4-clusters): SNC4 Enabled supports 4-clusters SNC and 1-way IMC interleave.
The last level cache (LLC) prefetch is a prefetcher added to the Intel Xeon Scalable processor family as a result of the non-inclusive cache architecture. The LLC prefetcher is an additional prefetch mechanism on top of the existing prefetchers that prefetch data into the core Data Cache Unit (DCU) and Mid-Level Cache (MLC or second-level cache (L2)). Enabling LLC prefetch gives the core prefetcher the ability to prefetch data directly into the LLC without necessarily filling into the L1 and L2 cache. In some cases, setting this option to disabled can improve performance.
Values for this BIOS option can be:
Disabled: Disables the LLC prefetcher. The other core prefetchers are unaffected.
Enabled: Gives the core prefetcher the ability to prefetch data directly to the LLC.
Adaptive Double Device Data Correction (ADDDC), which is an enhanced feature to DDDC. This function is used to correct data errors on two memory particles, ADDDC still has single-particle multi-bit error correction capability after the first particle failure occurs and is replaced.
Values for this BIOS option can be:
Enabled: Enable the ADDDC Sparing function.
Disabled: Disable the ADDDC Sparing function.
