Workload Profile

Use this feature to select a preconfigured workload profile, which is used to tune the resources in your system. The options are Disabled, HPC, I/O, Virtualization, Telco NFVI, Telco NFVI-FP, and Telco FlexRAN. Changes take effect after you save settings and reboot the system. (NFVI is the abbreviation for Network Functions Virtualization Infrastructure. NFVI-FP is the abbreviation for Network Functions Virtualization Infrastructure Forwarding Platform. RAN is the abbreviation for Radio Access Network.)

Note: Select HPC to optimize power performance of High Performance Computing (HPC) workloads for your system running in the HPC environment. Select I/O for I/O intensive workloads to optimize power performance of high volume of data transfers to and from system memory and storage devices or any program. Select Virtualization to optimize power performance of the workload for your system running in the virtualization environment. Select Telco NFVI to optimize power performance of NFVI workloads for your system. Select Telco NFVI-FP to optimize power performance of NFVI-FP workloads for your system. Select Telco FlexRAN to achieve optimal performance with low power consumption for Intel FlexRAN^TM based implementations.

Power Performance Tuning

This feature allows either operating system (OS) or BIOS to control the EPB. The options are OS Controls EPB and BIOS Controls EPB. (PECI is the abbreviation for Platform Environment Control Interface. EPB is the abbreviation for Intel Performance and Energy Bias Hint.)

Note: This feature is available when "Workload Profile" is set to Disabled.

ENERGY_PERF_BIAS_CFG Mode (ENERGY PERFORMANCE BIAS CONFIGURATION Mode)

Use this feature to configure the proper operation setting for your machine by achieving the desired system performance level and energy saving (efficiency) level at the same time. Select Maximum Performance to maximize system performance to its highest potential; however, this may consume maximal amount of power as energy is needed to fuel processor operation. Select Performance to enhance system performance; however, this may consume more power as energy is needed to fuel the processors for operation. The options are Extreme Performance, Maximum Performance, Performance, Balanced Performance, Balanced Power, Power, and Max Power Efficient. Please note that the options of Extreme Performance and Max Power Efficient are motherboard-dependent.
