Change Tuned Performance Profile

Oracle Linux uses the Tuned service to monitor connected devices and dynamically tune the system performance according to a selected profile. By default, the Tuned service assigns a recommended performance profile. In cases where the performance profile requires modification, Cockpit administrators can use the Overview page in the web console to assign a different performance profile.

What Do You Need?

Steps

Using the Cockpit web console, follow these steps to change the performance profile assigned to the host system.

  1. In the Overview page, navigate to the Configuration panel and find the Performance profile property, then click the assigned profile link.
  2. In the Change performance profile dialog, select one of the following profiles and then click Change profile to apply the change.
    None When selected, disables the tuned service state.
    Accelerator performance Provides the same tuning as the throughput-performance profile and improves the performance of certain accelerators, such as GPUs.
    Balanced Provides a generalized performance profile and is considered suitable for systems requiring a compromise between power saving and performance.
    Desktop Optimizes performance for desktop environments based on the balanced profile.
    hpc-compute Optimizes the performance for high-performance computing (HPC) and is based on the latency-performance profile.
    intel-sst Optimized for system configurations with user-defined Intel Speed Select Technology.

    Latency-performance

    		Optimized for deterministic performance at the cost of increased power consumption.

    Network-latency

    		Optimized for deterministic performance at the cost of increased power consumption and focuses on low latency network performance.
    Network-throughput Optimized for streaming network throughput. This profile is only necessary on older CPUs or 40G+ networks.
    Power-save Optimized for low power consumption.
    Throughput-performance Optimized for increased performance across various common server workloads.

    Virtual-guest

    		Optimized when running virtual guests based on the throughput-performance profile.
    Virtual-host Optimized for maximum performance when running KVM host.
