1 Your World is Hybrid: HPE ProLiant Gen10 Server Innovation - Intelligent System Tuning Lisa Kolkmann Solution Architect

2 Intelligent System Tuning HPE Innovative Server Tuning Technology Developed In-Part with Intel Workload Matching Jitter Smoothing Core Boosting 1 Tune BIOS settings with preconfigured server profiles that match your workload Mitigate frequency fluctuations for deterministic performance, reduced latency, and improved workload throughput Enable higher performance across more active processor cores for significant savings 1. Feature Coming Soon 2

3 Workload Matching 3

4 The Challenge with BIOS Settings Tuning your server through hundreds of possible BIOS configurations is a challenge Understanding how each setting interacts with one another and impacts your workload can leave users overwhelmed 4

5 Workload Matching 10+ Preconfigured Workload Profiles General Power Efficient Compute Graphic Processing General Peak Frequency Compute Decision Support Virtualization Max Performance I/O Throughput Virtualization Power Efficient Mission Critical General Throughput Compute Low Latency High Performance Compute Custom Transactional Application Processing Take the guess-work out of BIOS settings Save time tuning servers to specific workloads Leverage the experience of the HPE Performance Engineering Team Enable up to a 9% improvement over server default settings 1 1. HPE Internal testing from Performance Engineering Benchmarking team, April

6 Jitter Smoothing 6

7 What is Jitter? Frequency No Turbo Boost Turbo Boost enabled Jitter is the result of processor frequency shifts Enabling Intel s Turbo Boost mode can increase processor frequency dramatically Each time the frequency changes, the processor cores stop to adjust Why Care? Jitter negatively impacts: Latency Deterministic performance Workload throughput (in some cases) Time Base Frequency Frequencies 7

8 Jitter Smoothing 2.2Ghz processor Jitter Smoothing in Turbo Boost mode Frequency Jitter Smoothing reduces frequency shifts while in Intel Turbo Boost mode HPE patent-pending technology Provides more deterministic & reliable performance Increases throughput in select workloads Time Bottom Line Deterministic performance and workload throughput are competitive advantages Jitter Smoothing Base Frequency Turbo Frequencies 8

9 Actual Results for Server-Side Java Workload Impact on CPU Frequency 3100 Base Frequency Within 5.7% of Max Turbo Boost + Jitter Control Turbo Boost 2800 MHz % Frequency Increase Over Baseline When tested, Jitter Smoothing + Turbo Boost Mode yielded better performance than base while retaining deterministic frequencies Server-Side Java Workload

10 Actual Results for Server-Side Java Workload Throughput Performance Base Frequency % Performance Increase Over Baseline 1.2% Increase Over Turbo Turbo Boost + Jitter Control Turbo Boost In some cases, Jitter Smoothing + Turbo Boost Mode can improve overall workload throughput above Turbo Boost Mode alone Server-Side Java Workload

11 Core Boosting 1 1. Feature Coming Soon 11

12 Performance in MIPs on 2.8Ghz/4.0Ghz turbo processor Diagram for Illustration Purposes Only MIPs 1 6,500 5,500 4,500 Enabling Intel s Turbo Boost mode can increase processor frequency and total MIPs (millions of instructions per second) 3,500 2,500 1,500 However, as more cores are activated, this reduces the maximum frequency you can achieve and therefore MIPs increases are not linear Active Cores Non-Turbo Turbo Why care? Higher frequencies are a competitive performance advantage 1. Based on average of 10 clock cycles/instruction 12

13 Performance in MIPS with HPE Core Boosting 2 enabled Diagram for Illustration Purposes Only MIPs 1 6,500 5,500 4,500 3,500 2,500 1, % Increase With Core Boosting + Intel Turbo Core Boosting enables higher performance across more processor cores Improve performance by running workloads on more active cores at higher frequencies Works without overclocking (maintain Intel warranty and reliability) Lower licensing costs for core and processor based licensing Active Cores Non-Turbo Turbo w/ Core Boosting Bottom Line Core Boosting can improve server performance and lower licensing costs 1. Based on average of 10 clock cycles/instruction 2. Feature Coming Soon 13
