[hlds_linux] Intel Turbo Boost?

2011-11-16 Thread PAL-18
Would Intel's Turbo Boost negatively affect server performance? P.S. Intel Turbo Boost is a built-in feature of certain processors that dynamically overclocks the base frequency of the processor (eg. going from 3.50Ghz to 3.80Ghz) during periods of high load. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inte

Overclockers tend to turn it off since it can cause instability of the system is already manually overclocked (it's tweaked after default stock clock). If you hadn't overclocked, it's safe to keep it on. At best case it improves perfomance, at worst it's the same as running without it. On Wed, Nov

Yeah, in an overclocked system it attempts to underclock the processor back to its base frequency, which can at best removes the whole point of an overclock, and at worse causes severe instability. But as was stated, if you havnt overclocked the machine I don't see why it would effect performance.

It helps me a lot. As far as I know it hasn't done anything negative, except maybe turning off due to some SuperMicro power saving feature that you cannot seem to disable. Kyle. On Wed, Nov 16, 2011 at 6:17 AM, James Botting wrote: > Yeah, in an overclocked system it attempts to underclock the p

keep it monitored for a few minutes when the box runs at low CPU load and at high load: if you see cores frequencies that keep changing, you will probably want to disable it. Also you should keep in mind that SRCDS runs a benchmark of the CPU the first time it starts: if it starts when the box is f

Turbo boost (and other concurring similar technologies) should only kick in if less cores are being used. In order words - it should make things worse than they are. Regards Oskar Levin -Ursprungligt meddelande- Från: hlds_linux-boun...@list.valvesoftware.com [mailto:hlds_linux-boun...@li

Things will only be worsened if his box is completely pinned. Since SRCDS for the most part is still single threaded (and most likely always will be), if he has a spare core there will be a performance boost. Kyle. On Wed, Nov 16, 2011 at 8:55 AM, Oskar Levin wrote: > Turbo boost (and other con

Turbo Boost is supposed to be controlled by the OS, and there is a lot of noise about it not working at all with linux. Has anyone here running linux verified that Turbo Boost actually works? AMD uses TurboCore, but I disable it on my boards and just up the clock a couple hundred MHz. YMMV, ma
