New Persistent Memory paper
We also published the following new paper:
With the August 2020 UEFI release, Lenovo ThinkSystem servers with second-generation Intel Xeon Scalable processors offer a new UEFI setting for Intel Optane Persistent Memory 100 Series (PMem) called the “Balanced Profile”. The purpose of this new setting is to optimize both bandwidth and latency performance for system memory (DRAM and PMem) in two-level (2LM) memory mode. The Balanced Profile is in addition to the existing Bandwidth Optimized and Latency Optimized profiles.
