Manual CPU affinity configuration for multi-socket deep learning servers

Setting up optimal CPU affinity, NUMA memory policies, and interrupt routing across dual-socket EPYC systems with multiple PCIe devices (GPU, RAID) requires manual OS-level configuration in Debian that lacks automated tooling or clear guidance.

“Show HN: I made open source, zero power PCB hackathon badges I love getting cool swag from hackathons and I also love designing PCB's, so when my friend asked me if I would design hackathon badges for a large game jam in singapore, I was absolutely down! The theme of overglade was a The game jam within a game , pretty cool concept right! High schoolers from around the world were flown out to the event by hackclub after they spent about 70 hours designing their own game. These badges needed ”

“Show HN: Druids – Build your own software factory Hi HN! Druids ( https://github.com/fulcrumresearch/druids ) is an open-source library for structuring and running multi-agent coding workflows. Druids makes it easy to do this by abstracting away all the VM infrastructure, agent provisioning, and communication. You can watch our demo video here ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EVJqW-tvSy4 ) to see what it looks like. At a high level: - Users can write Python pr”

“Improving performance with CPU affinity I have a server with 2 CPUs(EPYC 9754) on a motherboard(Gigabyte MZ73-LM1), and a GPU(nVidia RTX A6000) attached on PCIE0(of CPU0), and a RAID(HighPoint SSD7505) attached on PCIE1(of CPU1), and each CPU has 64G local memory respectively and a dedicated PCIE bus. This server is being used for deep learnning, so the main working processes are an Postgresql(13) server instance and a few of Python. I'm planning to: configue OS(Debian 12) to bind all interrupt ”
