Any intensive workload, CPU and memory bound especially, would benefit from
the configuration.
In memory DBs (SAP Hana, Redis and friends) for example, MapReduce

For some workloads, low latency networking is also important (especially
for nodes inter-communication) and we are looking at DPDK for it. See[1].
