Tiny Linux Patch Up To 32% Faster, Up To 18% Less Energy For Intel Xeon Emerald Rapids


A one line patch to the Linux kernel is yielding significant performance and power efficiency gains for existing Intel Xeon 'Emerald Rapids' server processors on the likes of Ubuntu Linux.

Canonical engineer Pedro Henrique Kopper sent a patch Thursday to the Linux kernel mailing list for updating the balance performance Energy Performance Preference (EPP) for Intel Xeon Scalable "Emerald Rapids" processors. On Intel Emerald Rapids machines, we ship the Energy Performance Preference (EPP) default for balance_performance as 128. Michael is also the lead developer of the Phoronix Test Suite, Phoromatic, and OpenBenchmarking.org automated benchmarking software.
