Processor Settings
You can use the Processor Settings screen to view the processor settings, and perform specific functions such as enabling
virtualization technology, hardware prefetcher, logical processor idling, and opportunistic self-refresh.
View Processor Settings
To view the Processor Settings screen, perform the following steps:
Steps
1. Turn on, or restart your system.
2. Press F2 immediately after you see the following message:
F2 = System Setup
NOTE:
If your operating system begins to load before you press F2, wait for the system to finish booting, and then
restart your system and try again.
3. On the System Setup Main Menu screen, click System BIOS.
4. On the System BIOS screen, click Processor Settings.
Processor Settings details
About this task
The Processor Settings screen details are explained as follows:
Option
Description
Logical Processor Enables or disables the logical processors and displays the number of logical processors. If this option is
set to Enabled, the BIOS displays all the logical processors. If this option is set to Disabled, the BIOS
displays only one logical processor per core. This option is set to Enabled by default.
CPU
Enables you to govern the frequency of the communication links among the CPUs in the system.
Interconnect
Speed
The options available are Maximum data rate, 10.4 GT/s, and 9.6 GT/s. This option is set to Maximum
data rate by default.
Maximum data rate indicates that the BIOS runs the communication links at the maximum frequency that
is supported by the processors. You can also select specific frequencies that the processors support,
which can vary.
For best performance, you should select Maximum data rate. Any reduction in the communication link
frequency affects the performance of nonlocal memory accesses and cache coherency traffic. In addition,
it can slow access to nonlocal I/O devices from a particular CPU.
However, if power-saving considerations outweigh performance, you might want to reduce the frequency
of the CPU communication links. If you do this, you should localize memory and I/O accesses to the
nearest NUMA node to minimize the impact to system performance.
Virtualization
Enables or disables the virtualization technology for the processor. This option is set to Enabled by
Technology
default.
Adjacent Cache
Optimizes the system for applications that need high utilization of sequential memory access. This option
Line Prefetch
is set to Enabled by default. You can disable this option for applications that need high utilization of
random memory access.
Hardware
Enables or disables the hardware prefetcher. This option is set to Enabled by default.
Prefetcher
DCU Streamer
Enables or disables the Data Cache Unit (DCU) streamer prefetcher. This option is set to Enabled by
Prefetcher
default.

NOTE:
The standard and basic bin processors support lower link frequencies.
