Motivation
This pull request updates OS and BIOS tuning documentation for AMD Instinct GPUs. The most significant changes are the addition of detailed MI100 BIOS settings, improved OS tuning steps with distribution-specific instructions, and clarifications for MI210 and MI100 platform guidance.
Technical Details
Documentation improvements:
docs/gpus/mi100.md: Adds a comprehensive section detailing recommended BIOS settings for MI100 platforms with AMD EPYC 7002-series CPUs, including tables of parameters, guidance on NBIO clocking, NPS memory configuration, and usage of AMD-IOPM-UTIL. Acceptance criteria and references are updated accordingly.docs/common/os-tuning.md: Refines OS tuning instructions by adding a note for MI300A APU users, providing distribution-specific installation commands forcpupower, and introducing a method to persist NUMA balancing settings across reboots using a cron job. IOMMU configuration guidance is clarified for large systems.docs/common/kernel-parameters.md: Rewrites GRUB configuration steps using tabbed sections for Ubuntu/Debian, RHEL/Rocky/AlmaLinux, and SLES, and clarifies the requirements fortransparent_hugepage=alwayson MI300A versus OAM platforms.docs/gpus/mi210.mdanddocs/gpus/mi100.md: Updates platform guidance to point to the correct BIOS and OS tuning sections and clarifies MI210-specific BIOS guidance.These changes collectively improve the clarity, completeness, and usability of the documentation for system administrators and users configuring AMD Instinct GPU platforms.
