BIOS Optimizations For AMD 5th Gen EPYC Yield Greater HPC Performance & Power Efficiency


Using the 5th Gen EPYC BIOS tuning guide published by AMD, I recently looked at the impact of AI and machine learning optimized performance by adjusting some simple BIOS knobs as well as the Java throughput, latency and power efficiency for the EPYC 9005 class processors.

Using the 5th Gen EPYC BIOS tuning guide published by AMD, I recently looked at the impact of AI and machine learning optimized performance by adjusting some simple BIOS knobs as well as the Java throughput, latency and power efficiency for the EPYC 9005 class processors. In this article is following the AMD BIOS tuning guide to see what performance difference there is for high performance computing (HPC) workloads following the BIOS tuning recommendations compared to the defaults with an AMD EPYC 9575F server. From this 64-core AMD EPYC Zen 5 Supermicro server with Ubuntu Linux, the "default" run was with all the BIOS defaults and then the "HPC Tuning Recommendations" run was when making use of all the recommended AMD BIOS tunables for HPC workloads.
