How to disable HT Assist on DL585 G7

abc1 · ‎04-15-2017

I have an algorithm that greatly benefits from all of the L2 + L3 it can get. I was wondering if there is a way to disable the HT Assist (which uses 4MB of L3) on the DL585 G7.

Hi,

RESOLUTION

Boot the server.
When prompted to enter RBSU, press the F9 key.
Select System Options.
Select Processor Options.
Select Intel Hyperthreading Options.
Modify the selection to "Disabled."
Exit RBSU.

Kind Regards,
Erdogan.

DL585 G7 is an AMD server and the HT Assist has nothing to do with Hyperthreading.

abc1, I have the same issue. Did you ever figure out how to disable HT Assist? As you point out, it has nothing to do with HyperThreading, but rather with HyperTransport.
