Bias Analysis

Summary
The documentation is largely cross-platform and includes both Linux and Windows support. However, there is a subtle Windows-first bias: the 'Recommended OS for Performance' is listed as 'Windows Server 2019+' without a Linux equivalent, and the temporary storage section uses the term 'page file' (a Windows concept) without mentioning the Linux swap partition. While Linux tools (like lstopo) are shown, there are no Windows equivalents or instructions for Windows users to inspect NUMA topology, which could be a minor omission for parity.
Recommendations
  • In the 'Recommended OS for Performance' row, also recommend a specific Linux distribution/version for optimal performance (e.g., RHEL 8.x, Ubuntu 20.04+).
  • In the temporary storage section, clarify the equivalent Linux concept (e.g., swap partition) alongside 'page file'.
  • If possible, provide Windows-native tooling or instructions (e.g., using 'coreinfo' or Windows System Information) for inspecting NUMA topology, or explicitly state that such tools are not available if that's the case.
  • Ensure that examples and recommendations are balanced for both Linux and Windows, especially in sections where performance tuning or system inspection is discussed.
