NVIDIA Vera Single vs. Dual Socket CPU Performance
For those curious how NVIDIA Vera is scaling between single and dual socket deployments, here are some benchmarks I carried out a while back exploring the power and performance from one to two Vera CPUs.
NVIDIA Vera's performance can differ significantly between single and dual socket deployments, according to benchmark results. Each NVIDIA Vera CPU is equipped with 88 Olympus cores, which, with simultaneous multithreading (SMT), can support up to 176 threads. For a full dual Vera setup, this translates to 172 cores and 352 threads.
Tests were conducted remotely on an Ubuntu 24.04 LTS system running the Linux 6.17 64K kernel. The benchmarks utilized a range of workloads designed to scale well across high core and thread counts, and these tests were conducted with a focus on multi-socket NUMA friendliness. Due to time limitations and the absence of exact 88-core equivalents in Xeon and EPYC products, these findings specifically highlight NVIDIA Vera's performance when deployed as either a single or dual socket CPU.
