hi,

>>BTW, I am using Ubuntu 14.04 LTS and couldn't find any sysfs entry like 
>>'cpufreq'.. 

check this arch wiki about kernel modules needed
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/CPU_frequency_scaling



Also note that all theses tuning can normaly be done at bios level.
(on last dell servers bios, setting power profile to max performance, is 
setting the governor to max and disable all cstate)

I'm always doing it on my kvm hypervisors hosts.


They are also the C1E option to disable on AMD processor.

Thanks Andres for sharing this. I will try those out. 
BTW, I am using Ubuntu 14.04 LTS and couldn't find any sysfs entry like 
'cpufreq'.. 

root@stormeap-4:~# ll /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu10/ 
cache/ crash_notes driver/ microcode/ online subsystem/ topology/ 
cpuidle/ crash_notes_size firmware_node/ node0/ power/ thermal_throttle/ uevent 

I am using Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2680 v2 @ 2.80GHz. 

Regards 
Somnath

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

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
