I tried setting that but didn't notice an issue, perhaps it's not an IO 
bottleneck. All the IO is to a single PCIe gen3 100G connectx-5 card, in both 
cases (although the aggregate bandwidth over 4 cores is no higher than 40G and 
no higher than 10G per core).

Shuold I change the compiler options? The standard cpu flags seem to be:

  set(CMAKE_C_FLAGS "-march=corei7 -mtune=corei7-avx ${CMAKE_C_FLAGS}")

with variants added to that. I think for Epyc the march/mtune can be set to 
znver2, but I'm not sure how that plays with the avx2 and avx512 variants later 
(avx2 is supported by epyc but not avx512). I tried creating a znver2 variant 
but I think I'm missing something for that to actually work.

Thanks,
Chris.
