Subject: amd-pstate: Switch to amd-pstate by default on some Server platforms
|
|
|
|
Currently the default cpufreq driver for all the AMD EPYC servers is
|
|
acpi-cpufreq. Going forward, switch to amd-pstate as the default
|
|
driver on the AMD EPYC server platforms with CPU family 0x1A or
|
|
higher. The default mode will be active mode.
|
|
|
|
Testing shows that amd-pstate with active mode and performance
|
|
governor provides comparable or better performance per-watt against
|
|
acpi-cpufreq + performance governor.
|
|
|
|
Likewise, amd-pstate with active mode and powersave governor with the
|
|
energy_performance_preference=power (EPP=255) provides comparable or
|
|
better performance per-watt against acpi-cpufreq + schedutil governor
|
|
for a wide range of workloads.
|
|
|
|
Users can still revert to using acpi-cpufreq driver on these platforms
|
|
with the "amd_pstate=disable" kernel commandline parameter.
