Hackster ☛ Proposed Linux Kernel Patch Could Boost Raspberry Pi 5 Performance by Up to 18 Percent
A proposed patch to the Linux kernel could boost performance on the Raspberry Pi 5 single-board computer by as much as 18 percent — by emulating non-uniform memory access (NUMA).
"This [patch] series adds a very simple NUMA emulation implementation and enables selecting it on arm64 platforms," Tvrtko Ursulin, who works at software consultancy and Raspberry Pi partner Igalia, explains in a mailing list message brought to our attention by Phoronix. "Obvious question is why? Short answer — it can bring a significant performance uplift on Raspberry Pi 5."
