Advanced CPU Control submenu
The Advanced CPU Control submenu allows you to configure various advanced
CPU options.
Meaning
This item allows you to enable or disable advanced encryption standards (AES).
This item allows you to enable or disable processor performance states (P-States).
For Matrox 4Sight GPm, it is strongly recommended that you set this item to Enabled (default).
❖
This item allows you to select the performance state.
By selecting Max Power Saving, the unit will be run in a way so as to minimize power consumption.
By selecting Max Performance, the unit will be run in a way so as to maximize performance.
Note that, this item and its options might not be present, depending on the CPU of your unit.
❖
This item allows you to select the number of processor cores available to your operating system and/or
processing applications.
By selecting All Core, all processor cores of the CPU are enabled.
This item should not be changed.
❖
This item allows you to enable or disable hyper-threading for the operating system. Hyper-threading allows a
single processor core to execute two separate software streams (threads) at the same time.
By selecting Auto, hyper-threading will be used when necessary.
By selecting Disabled, hyper-threading will be disabled.
This item allows you to enable or disable XD. XD is a CPU feature that helps prevent malicious software
programs from overflowing buffers.
This item allows you to enable or disable Intel Virtualization Technology (VT) support.
This item allows you to enable or disable the hardware prefetcher option of the processor. Prefetching allows
the processor to fetch instructions and/or data from memory into the cache well before the processor needs
it, therefore improving the load-to-use latency and increasing processor performance. The hardware
prefetcher operates transparently, without programmer intervention, to fetch streams of data and instructions
from memory into the second-level (L2) cache.
Note that this item should not be changed.
