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.
