HP Exam HPE0-V26 Topic 5 Question 14 Discussion

Actual exam question for HP's HPE0-V26 exam

Question #: 14
Topic #: 5

Your customer needs to accelerate the performance Of their DL380 Gen10 servers running workloads on more active cores at higher Clock frequencies. The customer wants to know if Core Boosting will help.

What advice Should you provide?

AIt is only supported on ProLiant DL Gen11 servers.

BIt is a software solution and has performance limitations.

CIt is only supported on certain Intel processors.

DIt is an AMD technology so it is unavailable to them

Show Suggested Answer

Suggested Answer: C

Core Boosting technology uses a relaxed and optimized turbo profile that adapts the processor to specific use cases, configurations, and environments. Core Boosting processors take advantage of extra server power and thermal headroom provided by an innovative HPE voltage regulator design and by cooling technologies. Consequently, systems that have Core Boosting processors can alleviate common setbacks and maximize processor computing power.

However, Core Boosting option is only supported in ProLiant Gen10 servers with certain Intel processors1.The HPE ProLiant DL380 Gen10 server data sheet2lists the supported processors for Core Boosting as:

Intel Xeon Gold 6148 Processor (20 core, 2.4 GHz, 27.5 MB L3 cache)

Intel Xeon Gold 6154 Processor (18 core, 3.0 GHz, 24.75 MB L3 cache)

Intel Xeon Gold 6152 Processor (22 core, 2.1 GHz, 30.25 MB L3 cache)

Intel Xeon Platinum 8168 Processor (24 core, 2.7 GHz, 33 MB L3 cache)

Therefore, if your customer's DL380 Gen10 servers are running workloads on more active cores at higher clock frequencies, they can benefit from Core Boosting technology if they have one of these supported Intel processors.

But isn't Core Boosting a software solution with performance limitations?

So, we should check if their servers have the compatible processors first.

You know, I'm always a little skeptical of these 'performance enhancement' features. They often come with trade-offs that the vendor doesn't always make clear.

Wait, isn't core boosting an AMD thing? I could've sworn I heard that somewhere. That might rule out option D, at least.

I think the key here is understanding the specific hardware and software requirements for core boosting. It's likely not just a one-size-fits-all solution.
