Dell Processor Acceleration

Technology

Introduction

Dell Processor Acceleration Technology (DPAT), enabled through the BIOS,

provides a better performing solution than turning turbo off to force the

processor to operate at the lowest base frequency, while maintaining a more

consistent turbo frequency state. DPAT minimizes transition duration when the

processor functions in turbo mode, thereby decreasing jitter and allowing for

lesser latency.

The following Dell PowerEdge systems with Intel E5-2690 processors installed,

support DPAT.

.

Enabling DPAT

To enable DPAT on your system, make the following changes in the BIOS setup.

1

Set the required number of cores:

a

Press

<F2>

to enter the

menu.

b

In the

Processor Settings

screen, set the

Number of Cores per Processor

to the required value.

NOTE:

The maximum turbo frequency increases with fewer cores enabled.
