In my tests of a Supermicro ARS-111GL-NHR with a Nvidia GH200 chipset, I found that my benchmarks performed far better with the RHEL 9 aarch64+64k kernel versus the standard aarch64 kernel. Particularly with LLM workloads. Which kernel was used in these tests?

"Far better" is a little vague, what was the actual difference?

Not OP but was curious about the "+64k" thing and found this[1] article claiming around 15% increase across several different workloads using GH200.

FWIW for those unaware like me, 64k refers to 64kB pages, in contrast to the typical 4kB.
