AMD Schedutil vs. Performance Governor Benchmarks On Linux 5.11 Shows More Upside Potential

For this EPYC portion of the testing, the EPYC 7F72 2P server running the patched Linux 5.11 kernel was used for comparing Schedutil to the performance governor.

For a number of workloads like around Java, CPUminer, and other select cases the performance governor was leading to much better performance. But again for most tests the margins were much tighter...

Of some 147 tests carried out on this server, the performance governor on the EPYC 7F72 2P server yielded just 2% faster performance based on the geometric mean.
