General Power Efficient Compute is the factory default setting for HPE ProLiant servers. It provides a balanced configuration suitable for general applications, optimizing power usage without significantly sacrificing performance.
IO Throughput tunes the BIOS to maximize data transfer rates between I/O controllers and memory, which is critical for I/O-intensive workloads like large databases.
Graphics Processing is explicitly designed for servers hosting GPUs. It maximizes PCIe bandwidth and optimizes memory addressing (like BAR resizing) to support high-performance graphics cards.
Virtualization - Max Performance ensures that hardware-assisted virtualization features (e.g., Intel VT-x or AMD-V) are enabled and sets power management to "Static High Performance" to reduce latency for virtual machines.
