“Squeezes”, “20%”. Interesting word choice. Feels almost like downplaying. When, in reality, 20% is massive, especially on a CPU like the Threadripper.
Post from November 2023, but still interesting
6.6 kernel has EEVDF scheduler, would be interesting trying it with that.
See what they should be doing in the FOSS community is loading up that kernel with bloatware that sends ‘anonymous’ telemetry to third parties to maximize profits for the shareholders at penguin central…
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Going back to the original AMD Ryzen Threadripper processors, Linux has long possessed a performance lead over Microsoft Windows.
With Linux typically being the dominant OS of HPC systems and other large core count servers, the Linux kernel scheduler has coped better than various flavors of Windows when dealing with high core count processors.
Ubuntu 23.10 was run for providing a clean, out-of-the-box look at this common desktop/workstation Linux distribution.
The HP Z6 G5 A for all testing was configured with the Ryzen Threadripper PRO 7995WX at default frequencies, 8 x 16GB DDR5-5200 Hynix RDIMMs, Samsung MZVL21T0HCLR-00BH1 NVMe SSD, NVIDIA GeForce RTX A4000 16GB graphics.
A full review on the HP Z6 G5 A Threadripper workstation will be published in a separate article on Phoronix in early December.
From there the up-to-date Windows 11 Pro Build 22631 (H2’23) was tested against Ubuntu 23.10 with its stable release updates.
