From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Linux is a family of open source Unix-like operating systems based on the Linux kernel, an operating system kernel first released on September 17, 1991 by Linus Torvalds. Linux is typically packaged in a Linux distribution (or distro for short).

Distributions include the Linux kernel and supporting system software and libraries, many of which are provided by the GNU Project. Many Linux distributions use the word "Linux" in their name, but the Free Software Foundation uses the name GNU/Linux to emphasize the importance of GNU software, causing some controversy.

Hey all,

Anyone familiar with the state of Raptor Lake performance + efficiency cores in Linux? I'm specifically curious about how the kernel balances things when running multiple containers (without pinned CPUs)

Thanks!

I think that what you're looking for is "CPU affinity", but that is not something I know anything about.

In the 40+ years I've been playing with computers, I've always let the OS worry about where and when to run a process and only rarely do I renice a process that needs to run, but not at the expense of everything else.

Agreed, just want to make sure the kernel can handle resourcing for two different types of cores. I know there was a time (recent) where it couldn't. Others have said 6.x is the key.
