​Check BIOS Settings

  1. ​Performance Profile is recommended for most applications and workloads, for best overall performance and throughput. Performance Profile disables C-states and sets power settings to Performance mode. If your BIOS does not have a Performance Profile, experiment with manually disabling C-States, and setting Power Management for optimal performance.
  2. ​Hyper-Threading (if Intel platform) or Simultaneous Multithreading (if AMD platform) can be enabled or disabled based on the application. Note:Intel recommends that you enable Hyper-Threading for the best throughput and that you disable it for the best latency.
  3. ​Intel® VT-d (if Intel platform) or Intel® AMD-V (if AMD platform) should be enabled for environments using SR-IOV or virtualization with virtual functions (VF).
Note:​See ​BIOS Settings for more details on these settings.
