Awesome comparison, super curious how this would scale out on the current generation of big CPU machines. E.g. Epyc with 64 cores, would threads still perform that well?

Would be lovely to get my hands on such metal :) I wonder how Linux thread scheduling scales on multi-CPU machines. To keep things simple, I specifically chose to go with a single-core machine to benchmark all architectures.

Thanks for sharing!

Where did you find a single-core machine? Even a raspberry pi is quad core these days.

He mentions in the article that he's testing with DigitalOcean VPSs, so he's using VMs with only a single core allocated.
