Intel P-State Patches Further Tune Linux For Better Scheduling On Hybrid CPUs
A new set of patches are currently being tested for improving task scheduling and in turn performance for modern Intel Core hybrid processors
With the patch also mentioning systems that are hybrid but without SMT, this looks like it may be some early tuning as well for upcoming Intel Lunar Lake processors that lack Hyper Threading. Intel engineer and Linux power management maintainer Rafael Wysocki is testing a new set of Core hybrid system optimizations within an "intel_pstate-testing" Git branch. The Intel P-State testing patches do not offer any quantitative assessment for the impact on performance / improved scheduling of this latest code compared to the current Linux 6.10 upstream.
