Benchmarking The AMD EPYC Speed Boost Coming To Linux 5.18, Thanks To Scheduler/NUMA Improvement

It didn't tale long at all to see a number of workloads performing better on this AMD EPYC Zen 3 2P server with the "sched/core" code slated for Linux 5.18 performing better than Linux 5.17 Git.

Some of the improvements were quite significant and jiving with what Gorman was reporting from his successful testing.

The Graph500 HPC benchmark was one of the only cases where seeing sched/core seemingly regress with the latest Linux scheduler code.

A lot of wins were racking up in favor of the sched/core Git state...
