+How to get best performance on AMD platform
+===========================================
+
+This document provides a detailed, step-by-step guide on configuring AMD EPYC
+System-on-Chip (SoC) for optimal performance in DPDK applications across different
+SoC families.
+
+The overall performance is influenced by factors such as BIOS settings, NUMA Per
+Socket configuration, Memory per NUMA allocation, and proximity to IO devices.
+
+These are covered in various sections of tuning guides shared below.
+
+
+Tuning Guide for AMD EPYC SoC
+-----------------------------
+
+#. `MILAN <https://www.amd.com/content/dam/amd/en/documents/epyc-technical-docs/tuning-guides/data-plane-development-kit-tuning-guide-amd-epyc7003-series-processors.pdf>`_

+
+
+General Requirements
+--------------------
+
+Memory
+~~~~~~
+
+Refer to the 'Memory Configuration' section for specific details related to the System-on-Chip (SoC).
+
+.. Note::
+
+   As a general guideline, it is recommended to populate at least one memory DIMM in each memory channel.
+   The optimal memory size for each DIMM is at least 8, 16, or 32 GB, utilizing ECC modules.
+
+
+BIOS
+----
+
+Refer to the `BIOS Performance` section in tuning guide for recommended settings.
+
+
+Linux Grub
+----------
+
+Refer to the `Linux OS & Kernel` in tuning guide for recommended settings.
+
+
+NIC and Accelerator
+-------------------
+
+AMD EPYC supports PCIe Generation of 1|2|3|4|5 depending upon SoC families.
+For best performance ensure the right slots are used which provides adequate bandwidth.
+
+Use ``lspci`` to check the speed of a PCI slot ::
+
+      lspci -s 41:00.0 -vv | grep LnkSta
+
+      LnkSta: Speed 16GT/s, Width x16, TrErr- Train- SlotClk+ DLActive- ...
+      LnkSta2: Current De-emphasis Level: -6dB, EqualizationComplete+ ...
+
+
+Compiler
+--------
+
+Refer to the `Compiler Flags` in tuning guide for recommended version and `-march` flags.
