64K Kernel Page Size Performance Benefits For Refreshed

This round includes NVIDIA's GH200, along with the AMD & Intel CPUs

Linux 6.8 kernel performance with a 64K page size improved on average by about 15%

HPC_Guru,

@feld My understanding is that to get a larger page size than 64K in Linux, one would have to enable huge pages

Huge pages can use larger memory blocks (e.g., 2MB or 1GB)

HPC_Guru,

@johnefrancis US export controls. My guess is they fear that these countries might re-export to China.

HPC_Guru,

TPM makes a good point about one big difference between the boom and the boom:

DotCom: Modest compute requirements - x86 server + Linux

GenAI: High cost and shortage of GPU and low latency, high bandwidth networking required to create and use LLMs

HPC_Guru,

systems are becoming less balanced

o <1% of the FLOPS are useful

o Memory access and branching efficiency are more important
