[linus:master] [sched/fair] 5e963f2bd4: will-it-scale.per_thread_ops 2.5% improvement
From: kernel test robot
Date: Wed Sep 13 2023 - 11:09:22 EST
hi, Peter Zijlstra,
Yu helped review this report. though maybe not so valueable like those
hackbench/netperf report for EEVDF which has huge performance difference,
we report this just FYI since we got pretty stable results even by rebuilding
kernel and more reruns.
Hello,
kernel test robot noticed a 2.5% improvement of will-it-scale.per_thread_ops on:
commit: 5e963f2bd4654a202a8a05aa3a86cb0300b10e6c ("sched/fair: Commit to EEVDF")
https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git master
testcase: will-it-scale
test machine: 104 threads 2 sockets (Skylake) with 192G memory
parameters:
nr_task: 100%
mode: thread
test: context_switch1
cpufreq_governor: performance
Details are as below:
