Y-Cruncher benchmark with settings of Pi Digits To Calculate: 1B. Ubuntu 24.04 7 March was the fastest.
ClickHouse benchmark with settings of 100M Rows Hits Dataset, First Run / Cold Cache. Ubuntu 23.10 was the fastest.
ClickHouse benchmark with settings of 100M Rows Hits Dataset, Third Run. Ubuntu 23.10 was the fastest.
Memcached benchmark with settings of Set To Get Ratio: 1:10. Ubuntu 24.04 7 March was the fastest.
Memcached benchmark with settings of Set To Get Ratio: 1:100. Ubuntu 24.04 7 March was the fastest.

The big Memcached improvements are thanks to Intel-contributed kernel optimizations as previously covered on Phoronix.

Redis benchmark with settings of Test: GET, Parallel Connections: 500. Ubuntu 24.04 7 March was the fastest.

It was nice to see the Ubuntu 24.04 performance moving in the right direction for Intel Xeon Emerald Rapids.

Graph500 benchmark with settings of Scale: 26. Ubuntu 23.10 was the fastest.
Graph500 benchmark with settings of Scale: 26. Ubuntu 23.10 was the fastest.
RocksDB benchmark with settings of Test: Update Random. Ubuntu 24.04 7 March was the fastest.
RocksDB benchmark with settings of Test: Read Random Write Random. Ubuntu 23.10 was the fastest.

As the Ubuntu 24.04 LTS official release approaches in late April, I'll be back around with more benchmarks. Similar benchmarks on AMD EPYC server processors are also happening at Phoronix. So far Ubuntu 24.04 LTS is looking quite nice in the performance department and it's great they were able to squeeze in the Linux 6.8 kernel for powering this next Long Term Support release.

Geometric Mean Of All Test Results benchmark with settings of Result Composite, Ubuntu 24.04 LTS Intel Xeon Scalable Emerald Rapids. Ubuntu 24.04 7 March was the fastest.
