Amd epyc sets 14 world records with the help of red hat

AMD's EPYC Rome processors have broken world performance records for a variety of data center-specific workloads, using Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 7 and RHEL 8 operating systems (OSs), the software vendor announced this week. open source.

EPYC Rome continues to collect performance records

According to the Red Hat blog post detailing the achievement, the Red Hat engineering team uses prototype hardware from partners to integrate specific changes, which are then rolled out into supported versions of the RHEL operating system. The company's development and engineering teams have worked with AMD for more than a year in testing and validating the new EPYC processors, which has led to several benchmark results using Red Hat operating systems.

The teams conducted a series of benchmark tests covering SQL Server (TPC-H), Java Performance (SPECjbb2015), IoT Interfaces (TPCx-IOT), Database Workloads (TPCx-V) and large data systems (TPCx-HS).

Benchmark results shared by Red Hat:

Not surprisingly, Red Hat believes that new world records demonstrate that its enterprise-centric operating system excels at managing scalable workloads. Its software has proven effective even when running on hardware with a large number of cores, such as AMD's new EPYC CPUs.

Red Hat also noted that its partners and customers have also started using RHEL 7 and 8 to perform "extreme" workload tests that exceed the scalability limits of RHEL operating systems as well as AMD CPUs.

EPYC Rome is shaping up to launch later this year.
