      Linux 6.17 Improves NUMA Locality For SMP Call Rather Than Deferring To Random CPU Core

      news.movim.eu / Phoronix • 30 July

    After all of these years of Linux dominating the high performance computing (HPC) space and other industries, one might think (most) all the interesting performance nuggets have been uncovered and well thought out and robust fallbacks in place across all important code paths. As we showcase almost each cycle, interesting new performance bits to be uncovered within the Linux kernel. For Linux 6.17 thanks to a NVIDIA engineer is applying a better fallback for NUMA locality rather than simply picking a random CPU core...

      Farewell Benchmarks Of Intel's Clear Linux On AMD EPYC Shows More Performance Left To Tap

      news.movim.eu / Phoronix • 29 July

    Last week I ran the last planned benchmarks of Intel CPU performance on Clear Linux vs. Ubuntu with Intel having ceased development of Clear Linux following the restructuring at the company. In today's article is a final look at how the AMD EPYC performance compares on Clear Linux relative to Ubuntu Linux and AlmaLinux. An AMD EPYC 9965 "Turin" dual socket server was used for showing the strong out-of-the-box performance on Intel's Clear Linux even for this competing server processor.
