The Red Hat company has managed to break 14 records under its RHEL operating system with AMD EPYC Rome processors.
One of the most important markets in the world is the market for processors for servers and data centers. This market was dominated by Intel, to the point of having over 99% market share. With the arrival of the AMD EPYC processors things have changed a lot. But with the arrival of the EPYC Rome processors the thing has turned to the beast.
So much so that the new EPYC Rome are destroying all the specific test records for the professional segment. These have to do with data center-centric workloads. Specifically, the records have been achieved under the Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 7 and RHEL 8 operating systems.
AMD's EPYC Rome smashes a lot of records
Red Hat is a leading provider of open source software specially optimized for servers and data centers. The company has detailed in the blog these new achievements achieved under its RHEL operating system. They have also highlighted that for more than a year they have worked on testing and validating the EPYC Rome processors.
Specifically, specific tests have been carried out to see the performance in specific loads. The tests are based on SQL systems (TPC-H), Java applications (SPECjbb2015), IoT interface systems (TPCx-IOT), loads in databases (TPCx-V) and advanced data systems (TPCx-HS)
Although the tests have been carried out by Red Hat to demonstrate the benefits of its operating system, they demonstrate the potential of the EPYC. The tests have been conducted to verify that RHEL is ideal for scalable workloads.
In addition, Red Hat notes that its partners and customers have started to implement RHEL 7 and RHEL 8. They have primarily focused on 'extreme' workloads, which even push the limits of scalability thanks to AMD processors.
