Request Transaction ID (Available for the Intel Xeon 5600 platform only)
QuickPath Interconnect (QPI) is the connection between the CPUs and the I/O
hub (IOH). For a transaction to be processed in the QPI, a "Transaction ID" is
required, and it is assigned by an agent (CPU1, CPU2 or the IOH). Each agent
is allocated a number of Transaction IDs based on the QPI IO Bandwidth and the
Request Transaction ID (RTID) setting (32-24-32 or 32-16-40). Once Transaction
IDs are allocated to an agent, it will assign a Transaction ID to an event so that
it can be processed in the QPI. Select Balanced to allocate transaction IDs to
an agent based on the setting 32-24-32. Select IO Bias to allocate RTIDs based
on the setting 32-16-40. The options are Balanced and IO Bias.
QPI (Quick Path Interconnect) Links Speed
This feature is used to set data transfer speed for QPI Link connections. The
options are Slow-Mode and Full-Speed.
