Some servers may allow memory mirroring where the total memory is divided in half and each location is stored twice This allows fault recovery if one memory location detects an error but it greatly reduces the perceived memory bandwidth of the system Drivers for Linux Configuration Section Page 25 gt G EMULEX Nearly any desktop or low end server has enough memory bandwidth for OneConnect UCNA to support DMA at 20 Gb s of data 10 Gb s read 10 Gb s write However most of the memory demands come from the processor accessing the data for either packet copies in the non offloaded networking stack or application accesses All processor memory accesses use the front side bus FSB The clock speed of this bus is critical for allowing efficient memory bandwidth Note Systems with a faster Processor Front Side Bus FSB clock speed perform better than those with slower FSB clock speeds Linux Network Driver The following section discusses ways to use various OneConnect driver properties and Linux properties to performance tune a system You can read and set most OneConnect driver settings by using the ethtool utility Network Buffer Sizes and TCP Parameters The optimal size for the network queues and buffers depends on several factors such as protocol number of streams connections request size and application behavior The following network configuration settings are a good combination to get best bidirectional transmit and re
