64K Kernel Page Size Performance Benefits For HPC Shown With NVIDIA's GH200 Grace CPU
More of the upstream Linux kernel code continues to be better adapted to 64K / non-4K page sizes too for increasing the 64K outlook and making it more viable to consider using the larger page size in more production environments.
So for those that have been wondering about the modern 4K vs. 64K performance impact for 64-bit ARM servers, hopefully you found these latest benchmarks useful.
Of the several dozen CPU benchmarks carried out on this GPTshop.ai GH200 workstation, the Linux 6.8 kernel performance with a 64K page size improved on average by about 15% across the wide swath of workloads tested.
