An Early Look At The Linux 4.16 Kernel Performance With AMD EPYC

An Early Look At The Linux 4.16 Kernel Performance With AMD EPYC: A few days back I provided some fresh Linux 4.16 kernel benchmarks compared to recent stable kernel releases while also toggling the KPTI and Retpoline security features on Linux 4.16 Git for seeing the impact of the Spectre and Meltdown mitigation techniques on this latest kernel while using Intel Xeon hardware. For this latest round of tests is a similar comparison while using an AMD EPYC system.
