This patch series implements asymmetric SMT packing which ensures consistently good performance on POWER7. Without this series, tasks will vary in performance by around +/-30% on POWER7
This new version is based on help from Vatsa and Vaidy in an attempt to answer concerns that Peter Zijlstra had about the original series. The 1st patch is a fix for SMT4 in general. The 2nd adds actual the asymmetrical packing infrastructure. The 3rd adds the powerpc specific hooks for POWER7. _______________________________________________ Linuxppc-dev mailing list Linuxppc-dev@lists.ozlabs.org https://lists.ozlabs.org/listinfo/linuxppc-dev
