Hi Thomas,
Thank you for sharing this test. I just did a quick test and yes this is
really interesting !
Without the scale option, the load is close to 100% for each cpus (so
the pstates are increasing up to the turbo frequency) but with
scale=320:208, the load is oscillating (close to 50% in average), so the
requested frequencies are lower (the power is also reduced).
I have a patch (not yet submitted) that reduce the gap for such a use
case.
Hi,
may I ask you where this patch stays? I have seen nothing in Linus' tree,
that fixes that performance drop?
Thanks,
Thomas
