SPEC CPU2017 Platform Settings for ASRockRack Systems
ulimit -s <n>
Sets the stack size to n kbytes, or unlimited to allow the stack size
to grow without limit.
- Precision Boost Overdrive:
-
the Precision Boost Overdrive (PBO) is a way to automatically run the processor core faster than the marked frequency. The processor must be working in the power, temperature, and specification limits of the thermal design power (TDP). This results in increased performance of both single and multithreaded applications.
- Disabled: Disable Precision Boost Overdrive support.
- Enabled: Enable Precision Boost Overdrive support.
- Auto (Default setting): Use default value for Precision Boost Overdrive support. The default value is Auto.
- Manual: User can set customized Precision Boost Overdrive function setting.
Current default is Enabled
- IOMMU:
-
The I/O Memory Management Unit (IOMMU) extends the AMD64 system architecture by adding support for address translation and system memory access protection on DMA transfers from periph-eral devices.
IOMMU also helps filter and remap interrupts from peripheral devices.
Available settings are:
- Disabled: Disable IOMMU support.
- Enabled: Enable IOMMU support.
- Auto (Default setting): Use default value for IOMMU. The default value is disable.
- Core Performance Boost:
-
The Core Performance Boost Function is a dynamic frequency scaling technology implemented by AMD that allows the processor to dynamically adjust and control the processor operating frequency in certain versions of its processors which allows for increased performance when needed while maintaining lower power and thermal parameters during normal operation.
- Disabled: Disable Core Performance Boost (CPB) technology.
- Auto (Default setting): Use default value for Core Performance Boost (CPB) technology. The default value is Auto.
Current default is Enabled
- Global C-state Control:
-
Allows you to determine whether to let the CPU enter C states. When enabled, the CPU core frequency will be reduced during system halt state to decrease power consumption.
- Disabled: Disable CPU enter C states.
- Enabled: Enable CPU enter C states.
- Auto (Default setting): Use default value for CPU enter C states. The default value is Auto.
Current default is Disabled
- Memory interleaving:
-
This BIOS option allows the system to access different banks of memory simultaneously rather than continuously. Bank represents the number of banks (usually 4 banks now) that the logic inside an SDRAM device is stored in. Interleave is a technique to speed up memory.
- Disabled: Disable Memory interleaving.
- Auto (Default setting): Use default value for Memory interleaving. The default value is Auto.
Current default is Enabled
