NUMA Modes with 'X99 Taichi'

Message Topic Search Topic Options Post Reply Create New Topic Printable Version Translate Topic

   Hi,
I plan to use ASRock X99 Taichi together with an Intel XEON E5 v4 which comes with two NUMA nodes.
I'd like to know which CPU features (for instance enable/disable memory interleaving or selecting the snoop mode for the cache coherence algorithm)  can be modified/set by the BIOS of the mainboard.
best regards,
Oliver

	Did you read through the online manual at/through the BIOS section pages?

	No, unfortunately the manual doesn't tell about NUMA options (e.g. enabel/disable memory interleaving). I'm wondering because the Taichi X99 support XEONS and those CPUs have at least two NUMA nodes. Edited by olk - 14 Nov 2016 at 10:00pm
