We take two of the newest generation of AMD EPYC 7601 CPUs and see just how fast they are eating spare CPU cycles for Docker and Ubuntu Linux based crypto mining (Monero). We set a world record by almost a 2x margin over previous generation dual socket configurations.
Please do note, there are additional optimizations possible but we are using our scale out images based on Wolf’s CPU miner.
This result is not indicative of general purpose workloads on AMD EPYC. It happens to use exactly 2MB L3 cache per thread which is the exact CPU core to L3 cache ratio on EPYC. This example is not hitting AMD’s Infinity Fabric in a substantial manner. We are also on pre-production firmware so this performance may increase as systems become available.
