I have server Supermicro H8QGI board with 4 AMD Opteron f15 processors and 128
GB RAM (16x8Gb, 4 dimms per socket, 1 dimm per channel).I've tested my board in
STREAM and noticed that coreboot gives RAM speed 5 times slower than original
BIOS (16 MB/s against 80 MB/s). What can lead to this problem?Is it family 15h
or motherboard issue? Does another families have such problem?I've dumped
registers from coreboot and original BIOS. After that i enabled/disabled some
functions in buildOps.c to make dumps look more similar.Now dumps allmost
identical (but RAM speed problem still exist). Also i should mention that
original BIOS have HT-ASSIST feature enabled, but i can't enable it in coreboot
(http://www.coreboot.org/pipermail/coreboot/2012-December/073001.html)But
according to this link
http://www.amd.com/us/products/server/processors/six-core-opteron/Pages/six-core-faq-ht-assist.aspx
HT-ASSIST can increase performance by up to 60% (not 500%!). So i think it
isn't the main problem.
