      Two Very Exciting Memory Management Optimizations Going Into Linux 7.3

      news.movim.eu / Phoronix • 11 hours ago

    Andrew Morton on Tuesday sent out all of the memory management "MM" updates for the Linux 7.3 merge window. The MM pull was particularly heavy as he noted 1,250 "added-to-MM" emails were sent out this cycle compared to 920 the prior cycle. With a lot of patch churn, he also turned to Google's Gemini AI for writing his patch summaries. In going through the very verbose AI-generated summary, there are two patch series that get me excited on the performance front with Linux 7.3...

      AMD EPYC 9005 Series Memory Scaling Performance From 4 To 24 DDR5 RDIMMs

      news.movim.eu / Phoronix • 18 hours ago

    With today's memory prices, a frequent question at Phoronix and throughout many organizations is about reducing cost by not necessarily populating all memory channels. Especially with modern servers going up to 12 memory channels per socket or even 16 memory channels with upcoming EPYC Venice, you may be curious about the performance impact of populating less memory channels to see if the trade-off is worthwhile given today's DDR5 RDIMM pricing. In this article are benchmarks from a Dell PowerEdge server looking at a dual AMD EPYC 9655 2P configuration when testing between four and the full twenty-four DDR5-6400 RDIMM configuration and the resulting performance impact in more than 250 benchmarks.
