SPEC CPU2006 Platform Settings for Intel-based systems
- CPU and Power Performance Policy:
-
Allows the user to set an overall power and performance policy for the system, and when changed will modify a selected list of options to achieve the policy. These options are still changeable outside of the policy but do reflect the changes that the policy makes when a new policy is selected.
[Performance] Optimization is strongly toward performance, even at the expense of energy efficiency.
[Balanced Performance] Weights optimization towards performance, while conserving energy.
[Balanced Power] Weights optimization towards energy conservation, with good performance.
[Power] Optimization is strongly toward energy efficiency, even at the expense of performance.
- Set Fan Profile:
-
[Performance] Fan control provides primary system cooling before attempting to throttle memory.
[Accoustic] The system will favor using throttling of memory over boosting fans to cool the system if thermal thresholds are met.
- Fan PWM Offset:
-
Valid Offset 0-100. This number is added to the calculated PWM value to increase Fan Spped.
- Intel(R) Hyper-Threading Tech:
- Intel(R) Hyper-Threading Technology allows multithreaded software applications to execute threads in parallel within each processor. Can be disabled or enabled.
