15 RAPIDS Scaling on Dell EMC PowerEdge Servers
5 Results with System Profile in “Performance” Mode
In order to boost the performance, the System Profile was changed under the Bios Settings from
“Performance per Watt (DAPC)”, the default configuration used to run the previous tests, to “Performance”
mode; as a result, the performance was boosted between 7% - 9% in terms of Total E2E seconds. For
instance, the E2E on PowerEdge C4140-M-4xV100-SXM2-16GB in Multi Node went from 59 seconds to
55 seconds (7% faster), see below Figure 14:

The servers C4140-M-4xV100-SXM2-16GB and PowerEdge R940xa (4xV100PCle-32GB) were tested on
performance mode also and single node, presenting 9% of performance boosting each, see Figure 15
and Figure 16:
