Hi Alan,
This does seem like a misconfigured BIOS, these nodes should all allow for frequency scaling and on amd211 I see "no or unknown cpufreq driver is active on this CPU". On another node I have allocated I see the following:
# cpupower frequency-info
analyzing CPU 0:
driver: acpi-cpufreq
CPUs which run at the same hardware frequency: 0
CPUs which need to have their frequency coordinated by software: 0
maximum transition latency: Cannot determine or is not supported.
hardware limits: 1.50 GHz - 3.00 GHz
available frequency steps: 3.00 GHz, 2.40 GHz, 1.50 GHz
available cpufreq governors: conservative ondemand userspace powersave performance schedutil
...
The node I ran that command on doesn't have `amd_pstate.ko` either, but it still allows for performance governance, so that specific module may not be needed unless there's a specific reason you need to use that exactly.
Is it alright if I restart your nodes to make BIOS changes?
Best,
- Aleks
