NUMA Emulation Yields "Significant Performance Uplift" To Raspberry Pi 5


Engineers at consulting firm Igalia are exploring NUMA emulation for ARM64 (AArch64) due to the potential of 'significant' performance uplift as observed on the popular Raspberry Pi 5 single board computer.

Engineers at consulting firm Igalia are exploring NUMA emulation for ARM64 (AArch64) due to the potential of "significant" performance uplift as observed on the popular Raspberry Pi 5 single board computer. Igalia's Tvrtko Ursulin wrote:"This series adds a very simple NUMA emulation implementation and enables selecting it on arm64 platforms. In more concrete numbers, testing with Geekbench 6 shows that splitting into four emulated NUMA nodes can uplift the single core score of the benchmark by around 6%, and the multi-core by around 18%.
