AMD Milan-X Upgrade In The Cloud Makes Microsoft Azure HBv3 Very Compelling For HPC
Running through many different workloads on Milan-X over the weekend, it was fascinating to see some of the unexpected workloads where the huge CPU cache was helping out... Zstd with the highest compression settings turned out to benefit a lot from AMD 3D V-Cache.
In some of the imaging workloads were also significant gains to be found with Milan-X.
For those wondering, code compilation speed tended to have a tiny to small improvement with Milan-X.
