Re: 10/7/2014 Weekly Ceph Performance Meeting: kernel boot params

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi,

as mentioned during today's meeting, here are the kernel
boot parameters which I found to provide the basis for
good performance results:

  processor.max_cstate=0
  intel_idle.max_cstate=0

I understand these to basically turn off any power saving modes
of the CPU; the CPU's we are using are like
 Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2640 v2 @ 2.00GHz
 Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2630 0 @ 2.30GHz

At the BIOS level, we 
 - turn off Hyperthraeding
 - turn off Turbo mode (in order ot not leave the specifications)
 - turn on frequency floor override

We also assert that
 /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu*/cpufreq/scaling_governor
 is set to "performance"

Using above we see a constant frequency at the maximum level
allowed by the CPU (except Turbo mode).


Best Regards

Andreas Bluemle
