Even for symmetric configuration, the cost of moving a task to a CPU includes wake-up cost plus the run-time cost which depends on the P-state after wake-up (that's much trickier since we can't easily estimate the cost of a P-state and it may change once you place a task on it).
yup including cache refill times (assuming you picked C states that flushed the cache, which will be the common case... but even if not, since you're moving at task the likelyhood of cache coldness is high) -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majord...@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
