if they are disabled in the BIOS/UEFI. This was painfully apparent on our<br>
first SandyBridge cluster that almost failed the performance part of acceptance<br>
testing until it got found.<br>

Now we boot all nodes with this in the kernel cmdline:<br>

intel_idle.max_cstate=0 processor.max_cstate=1 intel_pstate=disable<br>

<b>apocalyptic civics</b>. Apocalyptic civics is the
insistence that we cannot ignore the truth, nor should we panic about
it. It is a shared consciousness that our institutions have failed and
our ecosystem is collapsing, yet we are still here — and we are creative
agents who can shape our destinies. Apocalyptic civics is the
conviction that the only way out is through, and the only way through is
together. "<br><br><i>Greg Bloom</i> @greggish <a href="https://twitter.com/greggish/status/873177525903609857" target="_blank">https://twitter.com/greggish/status/873177525903609857</a><br></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div></div>
