SPEC CPU2006 Platform Settings for Supermicro Systems
- Hardware Prefetch:
-
This BIOS option allows the enabling/disabling of a processor mechanism
to prefetch data into the cache according to a pattern-recognition algorithm.
In some cases, setting this option to Disabled may improve performance.
Users should only disable this option after performing application benchmarking
to verify improved performance in their environment.
- Adjacent Sector Prefetch:
-
This BIOS option allows the enabling/disabling of a processor mechanism
to fetch the adjacent cache line within a 128-byte sector that contains the
data needed due to a cache line miss.
In some cases, setting this option to Disabled may improve performance.
Users should only disable this option after performing application benchmarking
to verify improved performance in their environment.
- Energy/Performance Bias:
-
This BIOS option allows for processor performance and power optmization. Available settings are:
- Performance: High performance with less need for power saving.
- Balanced Performance (Default Setting): Provides optimal performance efficiency.
- Balanced Energy: Provides optimal power efficiency.
- Energy Efficient: High power saving with less need for performance.
