plotng VS bladebit

PlotNG: v0.62

Doesn't have Plotng on the list. https://github.com/maded2/plotng

plotng supports MadMax.

I use PLOTNG https://github.com/maded2/plotng for perpetual paralel plotting

I do this with plotng.

plotng is a solid, set-and-forget plotting manager. One file for installs/updates, any OS.

Nice, waiting official announce, but following are the commits looks like last 6 are commit after alpha 1: https://github.com/Chia-Network/bladebit/compare/master...cuda-compression

git checkout -b cuda-compression or git clone https://github.com/Chia-Network/bladebit.git -b cuda-compression

I don't have any epycs, but I've talked with many people who do, as well as some TR pro owners with 3000 and 5000 series, and we've tested a lot of things. https://github.com/Chia-Network/bladebit/discussions/228 describes some of the problems seen with epycs pretty well. We've also discussed using different nodes per socket settings, disabling some of the cores, manually using numactl and running bladebit with --no-numa and --no-cpu-affinity. So yes, I have some idea what I'm talking about, and your blanket statement that "bladebit doesn't use multithreading" is 100% incorrect.

If you get your CPU-not-maxed-out problem solved, you might want to try a RHEL based distro (for Bladebit). As of a year ago RHEL was noticably faster with Bladebit. This thread had positive things to say about Rocky (RHEL 8 clone). Apparently Arch is another good candidate.
