Transparent hugepages on non-NUMA systems are almost always neutral or beneficial to performance. This is why most distros have them enabled.

To my knowledge, THP that are already created and in use will not be disbanded when you disable them via /sys. Boot with transparent_hugepage=never kernel...

You may also be seeing bad interaction between NUMA and hugepages (cf. Gaud et al., Large Pages May Be Harmful On NUMA Systems,...

Not only Youtubers test on Windows, virtually the whole tech reviewer community tested on Windows exclusively.
And many concluded...

Chromium compile on Windows is plagued by bugs and race conditions, and held together by workarounds to those.

Computerbase did some 7-zip, Handbrake, x265 testing: https://www.computerbase.de/2018-08/...bschnitt_bench...

Nice work testing those coolers. The Enermax Liqtech TR4 used to be the best performing AIO watercooling during Threadripper 1000 times, so it is not...

It is possible to provoke dual bit flips with Rowhammer, in less than 49 million years....

Can Phoronix provide comparison between Epyc and Threadripper for this review, or is AMD still telling you to not do that?

When Fedora drops Chromium (new high-severity security bugs are found in each release), I guess they can also throw out the bundled software exception...

I think you really have serious misconceptions about ECC memory.
If there is silent data corruption, making backups will not help, because the backups...

No. No new information/results/facts about Speck have emerged since it was accepted into the mainline kernel. Just the discussion has progressed.

I think there may be some misconceptions here.
ECC memory and checksumming filesystems solve the same problem (undetected data corruption) in d...

Distro kernels almost always have such drivers as modules. What .config says is how your kernel is built. Your dmesg shows that amdgpu initializes late....

[chithanh]

If you build amdgpu as a module, it will be loaded and initialized from disk or from initramfs rather late.
If you have amdgpu built-in, then it...

If you have amdgpu built-in, it will initialize before your root filesystem is mounted....

[chithanh]

This has nothing to do with partial implementation or kernel bugs.

If amdgpu is built-in, then you also need to have the necessary firmware...

As AOCC is based on LLVM/Clang, I wonder why they didn't test that. It would have gotten a good baseline on Epyc vs. ThunderX2, plus giving some insight...

Sorry for reviving this very old thread, but I don't see any "report" button next to posts currently.

Heh, now that you mention wget: PowerShell has its own wget replacement built-in. Just that PowerShell's "wget" has a totally different (IMO...
