The following adapter settings can be adjusted for better performance. 

„

Use taskset to tune CPU affinity on Opteron systems with the 

QLE7240, QLE7280, and QLE7140. Latency will be slightly lower for the 
Opteron socket that is closest to the PCI Express bridge. On some chipsets, 
bandwidth may be higher on this socket. See the QLogic HCA and InfiniPath 
Software User Guide for more information on using taskset. Also see the 
taskset(1) man page.

„

Use an IB MTU of 4096 bytes instead of 2048 bytes, if available, with 
the QLE7240, QLE7280, and QLE7140. 4K MTU is enabled in the 
InfiniPath driver by default. A switch that supports and is configured for 4KB 
MTU is also required to use this setting. To change this setting, see
