AMD EPYC 7713 64-Core: cannot enable turbo boost

AMD EPYC 7713 64-Core: cannot enable turbo boost

Trying to enable turbo boost on EPYC 7713 with this APIS:

  rte_power_init(lcore)
  rte_power_freq_enable_turbo(lcore)
 rte_power_freq_max(lcore)

 I receive this messages:

DPDK:POWER: Env isn't set yet!
DPDK:POWER: Attempting to initialise ACPI cpufreq power management...
DPDK:POWER: Power management governor of lcore 99 has been set to
'userspace' successfully
DPDK:POWER: Initialized successfully for lcore 99 power management
DPDK:POWER: Failed to enable turbo on lcore 99

Hi Antonio,

We are looking into this. Could you please share the below info:
# cpupower -c <lcore> frequency-info info
analyzing CPU <lcore>:
  driver: acpi-cpufreq

That's fantastic:

# sudo cpupower -c 99 frequency-info info
analyzing CPU 99:
  driver: acpi-cpufreq
  CPUs which run at the same hardware frequency: 99
  CPUs which need to have their frequency coordinated by software: 99
  maximum transition latency:  Cannot determine or is not supported.
  hardware limits: 1.50 GHz - 3.72 GHz
  available frequency steps:  2.00 GHz, 1.70 GHz, 1.50 GHz
  available cpufreq governors: conservative ondemand userspace powersave
performance schedutil
  current policy: frequency should be within 1.50 GHz and 3.72 GHz.
                  The governor "userspace" may decide which speed to use
                  within this range.
  current CPU frequency: 2.00 GHz (asserted by call to hardware)
  boost state support:
    Supported: yes
    Active: yes
    Boost States: 0

    Pstate-P0:  2000MHz
    Pstate-P1:  1700MHz
    Pstate-P2:  1500MHz

Right now we are using an Intel XEON and to be able to enable turbo boost
we had to change a setting (Power performance tuning) in the BIOS sticking
it to "OS control EPB". Is there something to do in the BIOS of EPYC?
