👁 RocksDB benchmark with settings of Test: Read While Writing. SMT Enabled - Default was the fastest.

👁 RocksDB benchmark with settings of Test: Read Random Write Random. SMT Enabled - Default was the fastest.

The Meta/Facebook RocksDB persistent key-value store does really well with SMT too on 5th Gen AMD EPYC servers.

👁 OpenSSL benchmark with settings of Algorithm: AES-256-GCM. SMT Enabled - Default was the fastest.

👁 OpenSSL benchmark with settings of Algorithm: ChaCha20. SMT Enabled - Default was the fastest.

👁 OpenSSL benchmark with settings of Algorithm: ChaCha20-Poly1305. SMT Enabled - Default was the fastest.

OpenSSL also performs very well with SMT on the EPYC 9005 series. Great wins in performance and power efficiency with SMT on AMD's newest Zen 5 processors.

👁 LuxCoreRender benchmark with settings of Scene: DLSC, Acceleration: CPU. SMT Enabled - Default was the fastest.

👁 LuxCoreRender benchmark with settings of Scene: Rainbow Colors and Prism, Acceleration: CPU. SMT Enabled - Default was the fastest.

👁 LuxCoreRender benchmark with settings of Scene: Orange Juice, Acceleration: CPU. SMT Enabled - Default was the fastest.

Like the Embree results, really strong performance with SMT using the LuxCoreRender open-source software.

👁 OSPRay Studio benchmark with settings of Camera: 2, Resolution: 4K, Samples Per Pixel: 1, Renderer: Path Tracer, Acceleration: CPU. SMT Enabled - Default was the fastest.

👁 OSPRay Studio benchmark with settings of Camera: 2, Resolution: 4K, Samples Per Pixel: 32, Renderer: Path Tracer, Acceleration: CPU. SMT Enabled - Default was the fastest.

👁 OSPRay Studio benchmark with settings of Camera: 3, Resolution: 4K, Samples Per Pixel: 1, Renderer: Path Tracer, Acceleration: CPU. SMT Enabled - Default was the fastest.

👁 OSPRay Studio benchmark with settings of Camera: 3, Resolution: 4K, Samples Per Pixel: 32, Renderer: Path Tracer, Acceleration: CPU. SMT Enabled - Default was the fastest.

Ditto to OSPRay Studio as additional creator software delivering really nice performance and power efficiency wins with SMT on this AMD EPYC 9575F server.

👁 Blender benchmark with settings of Blend File: BMW27, Compute: CPU-Only. SMT Enabled - Default was the fastest.

👁 Blender benchmark with settings of Blend File: Classroom, Compute: CPU-Only. SMT Enabled - Default was the fastest.

👁 Blender benchmark with settings of Blend File: Junkshop, Compute: CPU-Only. SMT Enabled - Default was the fastest.

👁 Blender benchmark with settings of Blend File: Barbershop, Compute: CPU-Only. SMT Enabled - Default was the fastest.

The Blender 3D modeling software too benefits a lot from keeping SMT enabled on the EPYC Turin server processors.
