Bisecting The Linux 6.14 Performance Regression With System76 Thelio + AMD Threadripper


Yesterday I showcased Linux 6.14 Git performance worse than Linux 6.13 and 6.12 in a number of multi-threaded workloads

But as I ended up being able to reproduce some of the regressions on a System76 Thelio Major workstation at my desk with the still mighty powerful Ryzen Threadripper 7980X, I was able to turn around a quick bisect. I used the srsRAN 5G software as a quicker-running test case that also showed a significant performance drop on the EPYC 9005 server when running in the multi-threaded mode. As mentioned in yesterday's article, on a different EPYC 1P Turin server last week when running Linux 6.14 Git I didn't see this regression.
