The Very Exciting Cache Aware Scheduling Looks Like It Will Land For Linux 7.2
Cache Aware Scheduling support is set to be merged into the Linux 7.2 kernel. This feature aims to improve performance on modern CPUs by optimizing task placement in relation to last level caches. The development has been led by Intel engineers and has shown significant benefits on both Intel and AMD processors.
- ▪Cache Aware Scheduling is expected to be included in the upcoming Linux 7.2 kernel release.
- ▪The feature helps improve cache locality by colocating tasks that share data in the same last level cache domain.
- ▪Intel software engineers have been working on this feature for over a year, demonstrating its advantages on modern server-class processors.
