Hi Keng-Yu,

In comment #4, you mentioned there was an improvement in the performance
on the Sapphire Rapids CPU with HBM,  how exactly did you quantify that?

Title:
  [SRU] Intel Sapphire Rapids HBM support needs CONFIG_NUMA_EMU

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete
Status in linux source package in Jammy:
  Confirmed
Status in linux source package in Kinetic:
  New
Status in linux source package in Lunar:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  [Impact]

  Currently Ubuntu kernel has this kernel config disabled.
  But in some cases, Intel's Sapphire Rapids High Bandwith
  Memory (SPR-HBM) needs this option.

  Memory bandwidth has been a bottleneck of increasingly memory bound
  workloads. Sapphire Rapids plus HBM is specifically targeted to
  cater to these workloads, traditionally served using overprovisioning
  of memory devices.

  Please search the keyword "fake numa" in
  https://community.intel.com/t5/Blogs/Products-and-
  Solutions/HPC/Enabling-High-Bandwidth-Memory-for-HPC-and-AI-
  Applications-for/post/1335100

  [Fix]

  Enable CONFIG_NUMA_EMU in our kernel config for 5.15 and later

  [Test Plan]

  [Where problems could occur]

  The regression risk is low
