Github user HeartSaVioR commented on the issue: https://github.com/apache/storm/pull/2203 I'm trying to run the performance test, with Ubuntu 17.10, 4.13.0-25-generic #29-Ubuntu SMP Mon Jan 8 21:14:41 UTC 2018. I updated latest security patches today, which I guess it may include patches for Meltdown and Spectre. Maybe the machine will take less effect then others since the machine's CPU is Ryzen, as far as I follow the discussion on linux kernel (only for Meltdown... I'm not following the mailing list, but read relevant thread since it was interesting one.) Btw, both of builds will run in same environment, hence it shouldn't have much difference between results of both, I think.
