Phoronix: An Early Look At AMD EPYC Performance Gains On Linux 6.0

With Linux 6.0 having some big scheduler changes and tuning that should specifically benefit AMD Zen systems, I've been eager to see how some high core count EPYC servers will benefit from this next version of the Linux kernel. While just a few days into the Linux 6.0 merge window, here are some early benchmarks showing some of the areas where Linux 6.0 is allowing higher performance out of existing AMD EPYC 7003 series hardware...

Wow, that's pretty big.

Would be interesting to see how this compares to enterprise Linux distributions (or derivatives), that users of Epyc and Xeon are much more likely to run. e.g. RHEL8.6 and RHEL9.0

Does it work now? Your IP likely got blocked from openbenchmarking.org but cleared all them now.

Yes, big thanks for the fast fix.

Somehow that happens once a year or so? Strange that there is no permanent fix for it.

Happens from false positives for nefarious URL attempts (trying for exploits with URL guessing for Wix/WordPress/other-popular-software) / login attempts / other detected traffic patterns or if simply getting a lot of queries from a given IP at once, but in any event seems to have false positives every so often so just routinely flush the blocks.
