Scaling Bulldozer, Gulftown, Sandy, Shanghai

Seeing how well the AMD Bulldozer FX-8150 scales under Linux when controlling the core count from the BIOS/UEFI of the ASUS Crosshair V Formula motherboard. Using Linux 3.1 kernel and multi-threaded tests. To be compared to other Intel CPUs (Gulftown and Sandy Bridge) for a future article on Phoronix.com. Also results from a dual AMD Opteron 2384 (Shanghai) workstation. All systems were running Ubuntu 11.10 x86_64 with a patched Linux 3.1 kernel that supports the IC aliasing fix for AMD Family 15 (Bulldozer) CPUs while other hardware is untouched.

Compare your own system(s) to this result file with the Phoronix Test Suite by running the command: phoronix-test-suite benchmark 1110269-LI-1110227AR27
