新的Turbo按钮-平衡Windows服务器上的电源管理和性能

Do you remember the Turbo Button? I actually thought of it is the "be slow button" because we always kept it on Turbo. Why wouldn't you want a fast computer all the time? The Turbo Button was actually an "underclock" button. When it was off, you were setting your 286 or 386 to XT speeds so older DOS games would work at their designed speed.

您还记得涡轮按钮吗？ 我实际上认为它是“慢按钮”，因为我们一直将其保留在Turbo上。 您为什么不一直想要一台快速的计算机？ Turbo按钮实际上是一个“时钟”按钮。 禁用该功能时，您将286或386设置为XT速度，以便较早的DOS游戏将以其设计速度运行。

Power Management, both software and hardware, seems to be the new Turbo Button. My laptops get way faster when I plug it in - like very noticeably faster to the point where I just don't like using them on battery. For typing documents, it's fine, but for development, compiling, running VMs, it's unacceptable to me. I'll end up spending more power to get more performance. 

电源管理，包括软件和硬件，似乎都是新的Turbo Button。 当我插入笔记本电脑时，笔记本电脑的运行速度会更快-明显快到我不喜欢使用电池供电的程度。 对于键入文档来说，这很好，但是对于开发，编译，运行VM来说，这对我来说是不可接受的。 我最终将花费更多的精力来获得更高的性能。

It's important to remember that Power Management affects servers as well.

重要的是要记住，电源管理也会影响服务器。

Recently Mike Harder, a development manager, noticed that stuff he does every day was taking longer on the "Balanced" power option than the "High Performance" option. He said:

最近，开发经理Mike Harder注意到，他每天使用“平衡”电源选项花费的时间比“高性能”选项花费的时间更长。 他说：

My naïve belief was that “Balanced” is supposed to save power when your machine is idle, but give full power when needed, so the overall perf hit should be small.

我的天真想法是，“ Balanced”应该在您的机器空闲时省电，但在需要时提供全功率，因此总的性能影响应该很小。

Here's a very basic benchmark Mike did:

这是Mike所做的非常基本的基准测试：

Hardware/OS Hardware: HP z420, Intel Xeon E5 1650 @ 3.2GHz, 32GB RAM, SSDOS: Windows Server 2012 Standard

硬件/操作系统硬件：HP z420，Intel Xeon E5 1650 @ 3.2GHz，32GB RAM，SSDOS：Windows Server 2012 Standard

(in seconds)	High Performance	Balanced	Delta
7-Zip, LZMA, 2 Threads	55	115
