00:36:03 richlowe: I think the state of the art involves monitoring perf counters to see if a thread might benefit from the big cores. 00:37:15 pack things into the efficient cores until they're full, and if they're 100% busy start picking threads to run on the performance cores. 00:38:24 would likely need some sort of fudge factors for FSS shares (X ticks on a P core is worth Y on an E?) 00:40:17 exactly which performance counters are meaningful for this likely depends on the specific pairing of core types.. 15:16:24 Isn’t the feature set different? I though E-cores liked things like AVX, AES-NI,… ? 15:32:59 sjorge: in some cases, yes. (I think the AMD 4 vs 4c cores are same ABI but different cache sizes and different clock margins/turbo boost) if anything, that makes the question of who runs on the big cores easier.
