I’ve never owned a server-grade CPU before, so I have no idea about all of this. I’m just curious about how Qubes would run on a 64-core behemoth and what interesting things can be done with it (e.g. the Qubes Aquarium).
I hope that someone with a Zen 3 Threadripper will update this thread sometime in the far future to tell us whether the SMT-NUMA confusion is no longer halving the available cores.
P.S. Is there somewhere that documents how CPU cores are distributed among VMs and workloads? Can I tell Xen to reserve certain cores exclusively for certain VMs to further increase segregation and also to increase efficiency? (Something I’d love to do on a 64-core system).
Also, somewhat unrelated, but once sys-gui is ready, can I pipe GPU workloads to it and have it feed data back via the internal network?
