Intel Continues Exploring Energy Aware Scheduling For Hybrid CPUs Without SMT
While Intel's Core Ultra 200V 'Lunar Lake' SoCs with on-package memory has been reported to be a one-off design, besides the integrated memory it was also notable for being a hybrid core design while lacking Hyper Threading (HT / SMT) support
The notion of hybrid P/E core CPUs without SMT looks like it will continue with Intel software engineers still exploring Energy Aware Scheduling(EAS) around such layouts. It's been a few months since the prior round of Intel P-State EAS patches while out today is a fresh series that has also graduated from the "request for comments" stage. We'll see where the new patch series ends up and if it proves advantageous to merge this Energy Aware Scheduling support for Intel hybrid CPUs without SMT.
