Setting Memory Interleave Diasabling Memory Interleaving This option is available from the Advanced Power Management menu in RBSU. Disabling memory interleaving saves some power per DIMM, but incurs a performance penalty. Setting Node Interleaving This option is available from the RBSU Advanced Options menu. Enabling Node Interleaving disables the NUMA architecture properties of the system. In NUMA configuration, each CPU core allocates memory closest to it. If all this near memory is consumed, then it will allocate memory attached to the remote CPU socket. When node interleaving is enabled, BIOS builds the system memory map by first using all memory attached to the first processor and then all memory from the second processor. When Node Interleaving is enabled, memory addresses are interleaved across the memory installed on each processor, and each CPU core allocates memory equally from both processor sockets. Some workloads that use shared data sets may see improved performance with this feature enabled. Figure 15: ROM-Based Setup Utility, Node Interleaving setting 24
