The correct answer is C. Set "NUMA Optimization" to enhance memory locality for latency-sensitive applications.. NUMA Optimization ensures that memory allocations stay local to the CPU socket that’s running the workload, minimizing cross-socket memory access and thus reducing latency while maximizing effective memory bandwidth - ideal for memory-intensive, low-latency applications.
Question
An organization deploys Cisco UCS-X Series servers in the data center. The deployment must have optimal BIOS configuration to maximize performance for memory-intensive applications. The organization must set the BIOS options to achieve low-latency operation and enhanced memory bandwidth. Which BIOS tuning option on Cisco UCS-X Series servers is needed for memory-intensive workloads?
Options
- AConfigure "Virtualization Extensions" to improve performance for hypervisor-based environments.
- BDisable "Turbo Boost" to stabilize performance and reduce heat generation.
- CSet "NUMA Optimization" to enhance memory locality for latency-sensitive applications.
- DEnable "Processor C-States" for better power efficiency during high-performance workloads.
