Implicitly Included Flags
This section contains descriptions of flags that were included implicitly
by other flags, but which do not have a permanent home at SPEC.
-
- -O2
-
Moderate level of optimization which enables most optimizations. This is the default when no "-O" option is
specified, or if no value is specified (i.e. "-O").
If multiple "O" options are used, with or without level numbers, the last such option is the one that is effective.
- Includes:
-
- -O1
-
Somewhere between -O0 and -O2.
If multiple "O" options are used, with or without level numbers, the last such option is the one that is effective.
-
- -O3
-
Like -O2, except that it enables optimizations that take longer to perform or that may generate larger code (in
an attempt to make the program run faster).
If multiple "O" options are used, with or without level numbers, the last such option is the one that is effective.
- Includes:
Using numactl to bind processes and memory to cores
For multi-copy runs or single copy runs on systems with multiple sockets, it is advantageous to bind a process to a
particular core. Otherwise, the OS may arbitrarily move your process from one core to another. This can affect
performance. To help, SPEC allows the use of a "submit" command where users can specify a utility to use to bind
processes. We have found the utility 'numactl' to be the best choice.
numactl runs processes with a specific NUMA scheduling or memory placement policy. The policy is set for a
command and inherited by all of its children. The numactl flag "--physcpubind" specifies
which core(s) to bind the process. "-l" instructs numactl to keep a process's memory on the
local node while "-m" specifies which node(s) to place a process's memory. For full details on using
numactl, please refer to your Linux documentation, 'man numactl'
Note that some older versions of numactl incorrectly interpret application arguments as its own. For
example, with the command "numactl --physcpubind=0 -l a.out -m a", numactl will interpret
a.out's "-m" option as its own "-m" option. To work around this problem, we put
the command to be run in a shell script and then run the shell script using numactl. For example:
"echo 'a.out -m a' > run.sh ; numactl --physcpubind=0 bash run.sh"
Transparent Huge Pages (THP)
THP is an abstraction layer that automates most aspects of creating, managing, and using huge pages. THP is designed
to hide much of the complexity in using huge pages from system administrators and developers, as normal huge pages
must be assigned at boot time, can be difficult to manage manually, and often require significant changes to code in
order to be used effectively. Most recent Linux OS releases have THP enabled by default.
Linux Huge Page settings
If you need finer control you can manually set huge pages using the following steps:
- Create a mount point for the huge pages:
mkdir /mnt/hugepages
- The huge page file system needs to be mounted when the systems reboots. Add the following to a system boot
configuration file before any services are started:
mount -t hugetlbfs nodev /mnt/hugepages
- Set
vm/nr_hugepages=N in /etc/sysctl.conf where N is the maximum number of pages the
system may allocate.
- Reboot to have the changes take effect.
Note that further information about huge pages may be found in the Linux kernel documentation file
hugetlbpage.txt.
ulimit -s <n>
Sets the stack size to n kbytes, or unlimited to allow the stack size to grow without limit.
ulimit -l <n>
Sets the maximum size of memory that may be locked into physical memory.
powersave -f (on SuSE)
Makes the powersave daemon set the CPUs to the highest supported frequency.
/etc/init.d/cpuspeed stop (on Red Hat)
Disables the cpu frequency scaling program in order to set the CPUs to the highest supported frequency.
LD_LIBRARY_PATH
An environment variable that indicates the location in the filesystem of bundled libraries to use when running the
benchmark binaries.
kernel/randomize_va_space
This option can be used to select the type of process address space randomization that is used in the system, for
architectures that support this feature.
- 0 - Turn the process address space randomization off. This is the default for architectures that do not support
this feature anyway, and kernels that are booted with the "
norandmaps" parameter.
- 1 - Make the addresses of mmap base, stack and VDSO page randomized. This, among other things, implies that
shared libraries will be loaded to random addresses. Also for PIE-linked binaries, the location of code start is
randomized. This is the default if the
CONFIG_COMPAT_BRK option is enabled.
- 2 - Additionally enable heap randomization. This is the default if
CONFIG_COMPAT_BRK is
disabled.
MALLOC_CONF
An environment variable set to tune the jemalloc allocation strategy during the execution of the binaries. This
environment variable setting is not needed when building the binaries on the system under test.
- Determinism Control:
-
This BIOS option allows for choose AGESA determinism control.
AGESA is an acronym for "AMD Generic Encapsulated Software Architecture."
AGESA is a bootstrap protocol by which system devices on AMD64-architecture mainboards are initialized, it responsible for the initialization of the processor cores, memory, and the HyperTransport controller.
Available settings are:
- Manual: User can customize determinism slider.
- Auto (Default setting): Use the processor fused determinism control.
- Determinism Slider:
-
This BIOS option allows for Enable/Disable AGESA determinism to control performance.
AGESA is an acronym for "AMD Generic Encapsulated Software Architecture."
AGESA is a bootstrap protocol by which system devices on AMD64-architecture mainboards are initialized, it responsible for the initialization of the processor cores, memory, and the HyperTransport controller.
Available settings are:
- Performance: AGESA will enable 100% deterministic performance control.
- Power: AGESA will not enable deterministic performance control.
- Auto (Default setting): Use default value for deterministic performance control.
- cTDP Control:
-
This BIOS option is for "Configurable TDP (cTDP)", it allows user can set customized value for TDP. Available settings are:
- Auto (Default setting): Use the fused TDP value.
- Manual: Let user specifies customized TDP value.
- cTDP:
-
TDP is an acronym for “Thermal Design Power.” TDP is the recommended target for power used when designing the cooling capacity for a server.
EPYC processors are able to control this target power consumption within certain limits. This capability is referred to as “configurable TDP” or "cTDP."
cTDP can be used to reduce power consumption for greater efficiency, or in some cases, increase power consumption above the default value to provide additional performance.
cTDP is controlled using a BIOS option.
The default EPYC cTDP value corresponds with the microprocessor’s nominal TDP. For the EPYC 7702, the default value is 200W.
The default cTDP value is set at a good balance between performance and energy efficiency.
The EPYC 7702 cTDP can be reduced as low as 180W, which will minimize the power consumption for the processor under load, but at the expense of peak performance.
Increasing the EPYC 7742 cTDP to 240W will maximize peak performance by allowing the CPU to maintain higher dynamic clock speeds, but will make the microprocessor less energy efficient.
Note that at maximum cTDP, the CPU thermal solution must be capable of dissipating at least 240W or the EPYC 7742 processor might engage in thermal throttling under load.
The available cTDP ranges for each EPYC model are in the table below:
| Model | Nominal TDP | Minimum cTDP | Maximum cTDP** |
|---|
| EPYC 7742 | 225W | 225W | 240W |
|---|
| EPYC 7702 | 200W | 165W | 200W |

*Max TDP is 170W when DDR4 is operating at 2667 MT/sec, or 155W when DDR4 is operating at lower frequencies.
** cTDP must remain below the thermal solution design parameters or thermal throttling could be frequently encountered.
- IOMMU:
-
The I/O Memory Management Unit (IOMMU) extends the AMD64 system architecture by adding support for address translation and system memory access protection on DMA transfers from periph-eral devices.
IOMMU also helps filter and remap interrupts from peripheral devices.
Available settings are:
- Disabled: Disable IOMMU support.
- Enabled: Enable IOMMU support.
- Auto (Default setting): Use default value for IOMMU. The default value is disable.
- Package Power Limit Control:
-
This is a per processor Package Power Limit (PPT) value applicable for all populated processors in the system.
This can be set to limit the PPT to a certain value.
Available settings are:
- Auto (Default setting): Use the fused processor PPT value.
- Manual: Let user specifies customized processor PPT value.
- Package Power Limit:
-
Set customize processor Package Power Limit (PPT) value to be used on all populated processors in the system.
If set to 240 = Use the 240W PPT ***PPT will be used as the ASIC power limit***
- APBDIS:
-
APBDis is an IO Boost disable on uncore.
For any system user that needs to block these uncore optimizations that are impacting base core clock speed, we are exposing a method to disable this behavior called APBDis.
This locks the fabric clock to the non-boosted speeds.
Available settings are:
- 0: Disable APBDIS, locks the fabric clock to the non-boosted speeds.
- 1: Enable APBDIS, unlocks the fabric clock to the boosted speeds.
- Auto (Default setting): Use default value for APBDIS. The default value is 0.
- NUMA Nodes Per Socket:
-
Specifies the number of desired NUMA nodes per socket.
This option allows the user to divide the memory that each socket has into a certain number of NUMA memory nodes for optimal memory bandwidth.
Available settings are:
- NPS0: It will attempt to interleave the two sockets together.
- NPS1: Each processor socket will have one NUMA memory node.
- NPS2: Each processor socket will have two NUMA memory nodes.
- NPS4: Each processor socket will have four NUMA memory nodes.
- Auto (Default setting): Use default value for NUMA nodes per socket. The default value is NPS1.
