This option is set to Enabled by default. Enables or disables the Sub NUMA Cluster. This option is set to Disabled by default. Specifies the MADT Core Enumeration. This option is set to default in Round Robin. Enables you to get the memory read started early on DDR bus.

This option is set to Enabled by default. Enables or disables the LLC Prefetch on all threads. This option is set to Enabled by default. Enables or disables the Dead Line LLC Alloc. This option is set to Enabled by default. You can enable this option to enter the dead lines in LLC or disable the option to not enter the dead lines in LLC. Enables or disables the Directory AtoS. AtoS optimization reduces remote read latencies for repeat read accesses without intervening writes. This option is set to Disabled by default. Enables you to improve the energy efficiency of a system. It uses the operating system core parking algorithm and parks some of the logical processors in the system, which in turn allows the corresponding processor cores to transition into a lower power idle state. This option can only be enabled if the operating system supports it. It is set to Disabled by default. NOTE: This feature is not supported if CPU Power Management is set to Maximum Performance. Enables you to reconfigure the processor Thermal Design Power (TDP) levels during POST based on the power and thermal delivery capabilities of the system. TDP verifies the maximum heat the cooling system is needed to dissipate. This option is set to Nominal by default. NOTE: This option is only available on certain stock keeping units (SKUs) of the processors. Enables you to reconfigure the processor using Dynamic or Static Speed Select Technology. This option is set to Disabled by default. Enables you to reconfigure the processor using Speed Select Technology. Enables Intel SST-BF. This option is displayed if Performance Per Watt (operating system) or Custom (when OSPM is enabled) system profiles are selected. This option is set to Disabled by default. Enables Intel SST-CP. This option is displayed if Performance Per Watt (operating system) or Custom (when OSPM is enabled) system profiles are selected. This option is displayed and selectable for each system profile mode. Thsi option is set to Disabled by default. 8 Pre-operating system management applications

Table 5. Processor Settings details (continued)
Option
Description
DCU IP Prefetcher
Enables or disables the Data Cache Unit (DCU) IP prefetcher.
This option is set to
Enabled
by default.
Sub NUMA Cluster
Enables or disables the Sub NUMA Cluster. This option is set
to
Disabled
by default.
MADT Core Enumeration
Specifies the MADT Core Enumeration. This option is set to
default in
Round Robin
.
UPI Prefetch
Enables you to get the memory read started early on DDR
bus. The Ultra Path Interconnect (UPI) Rx path will spawn
the speculative memory read to Integrated Memory Controller
(iMC) directly. This option is set to
Enabled
by default.
XPT Prefetch
This option is set to
Enabled
by default.
LLC Prefetch
Enables or disables the LLC Prefetch on all threads. This
option is set to
Enabled
by default.
Dead Line LLC Alloc
Enables or disables the Dead Line LLC Alloc. This option is set
to
Enabled
by default. You can enable this option to enter the
dead lines in LLC or disable the option to not enter the dead
lines in LLC.
Directory AtoS
Enables or disables the Directory AtoS. AtoS optimization
reduces remote read latencies for repeat read accesses
without intervening writes. This option is set to
Disabled
by
default.
Logical Processor Idling
Enables you to improve the energy efficiency of a system. It
uses the operating system core parking algorithm and parks
some of the logical processors in the system, which in turn
allows the corresponding processor cores to transition into a
lower power idle state. This option can only be enabled if the
operating system supports it. It is set to
Disabled
by default.
NOTE:
This feature is not supported if CPU Power
Management is set to
Maximum Performance
.
Configurable TDP
Enables you to reconfigure the processor Thermal Design
Power (TDP) levels during POST based on the power and
thermal delivery capabilities of the system. TDP verifies the
maximum heat the cooling system is needed to dissipate. This
option is set to
Nominal
by default.
NOTE:
This option is only available on certain stock
keeping units (SKUs) of the processors.
Dynamic SST-Performance Profile
Enables you to reconfigure the processor using Dynamic
or Static Speed Select Technology. This option is set to
Disabled
by default.
SST-Performance Profile
Enables you to reconfigure the processor using Speed Select
Technology.
Intel SST-BF
Enables Intel SST-BF. This option is displayed if Performance
Per Watt (operating system) or Custom (when OSPM is
enabled) system profiles are selected. This option is set to
Disabled
by default.
Intel SST-CP
Enables Intel SST-CP. This option is displayed if Performance
Per Watt (operating system) or Custom (when OSPM is
enabled) system profiles are selected. This option is displayed
and selectable for each system profile mode. Thsi option is set
to
Disabled
by default.
