From 5c45bf279d378d436ce45825c0f136696c7b6109 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: "Siddha, Suresh B" Date: Tue, 27 Jun 2006 02:54:42 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] sched: mc/smt power savings sched policy sysfs entries 'sched_mc_power_savings' and 'sched_smt_power_savings' in /sys/devices/system/cpu/ control the MC/SMT power savings policy for the scheduler. Based on the values (1-enable, 0-disable) for these controls, sched groups cpu power will be determined for different domains. When power savings policy is enabled and under light load conditions, scheduler will minimize the physical packages/cpu cores carrying the load and thus conserving power(with a perf impact based on the workload characteristics... see OLS 2005 CMP kernel scheduler paper for more details..)
