The user can configure the Ethernet adapter by setting some registry keys. The registry keys may affect Ethernet performance.
To improve performance, activate the performance tuning tool as follows:
Start the "Device Manager" (open a command line window and enter: devmgmt.msc).
Open "Network Adapters".
Right click the relevant Ethernet adapter and select Properties.
Select the "Advanced" tab
Modify performance parameters (properties) as desired.
On Intel I/OAT supported systems, it is highly recommended to install and enable the latest I/OAT driver (download from www.intel.com).
With I/OAT enabled, sending 256-byte messages or larger will activate I/OAT. This will cause a significant latency increase due to I/OAT algorithms. On the other hand, throughput will increase significantly when using I/OAT.
The user can configure the IPoIB adapter by setting some registry keys. The registry keys may affect IPoIB performance.
