I pulled down the turionPowercontrol but getting this error when I run it:

sudo ./TurionPowerControl -dram
TurionPowerControl 0.44-rc2 (tpc-0.44-rc2-r144)
Turion Power States Optimization and Control - by blackshard

No supported processor detected, sorry.

You need cpuid installed:
sudo apt install cpuid

And you need cpuid and msr loaded:
sudo modprobe cpuid
sudo modprobe msr

To have cpuid and msr loaded on boot:

Edit /etc/modules file and add these line to it:
 cpuid
 msr

Quad opteron 6378 on ubuntu 18

Also, I can't run the benchmark without using --softAes. Why is that? I see your logs show hardware AES. Is that something in the bios I need to setup?

Also, Getting this error:

seq 0 1 | xargs -P 0 -I node numactl -N node ./randomx-benchmark --mine --largePages --jit --nonces 10000 --init 8 --threads 8
libnuma: Warning: node argument 0 is out of range

First make sure you have enough LargePages:

sudo sysctl -w vm.nr_hugepages=9600
cat /proc/meminfo

also make sure you have numactl installed:
sudo apt install numactl

For a Quad Opteron 6378 system this is the command:

seq 0 7 | xargs -P 0 -I node numactl --localalloc -N node ./randomx-benchmark --mine --largePages --jit --nonces 100000 --init 8 --threads 8


That cleared up the turion errors and appears to be working.

Still getting this error:
seq 0 7 | xargs -P 0 -I node numactl --localalloc -N node ./randomx-benchmark --mine --largePages --jit --nonces 100000 --init 8 --threads 8 --softAes
libnuma: Warning: node argument 0 is out of range

<0> is invalid
<3> is invalid
<6> is invalid

Also, still required to have --softAes on the command line. Anything ideas about that?
