The primary scheduling domain represents a group of CPUs in the system
where the scheduler will initially attempt to assign tasks. Tasks will
only be dispatched to CPUs within this primary domain until they are
fully utilized, after which tasks may overflow to other available CPUs.
The primary scheduling domain can defined using the option
`--primary-domain CPUMASK` (by default all the CPUs in the system are
used as primary domain).
This change introduces two new special values for the CPUMASK argument:
- `performance`: automatically detect the fastest CPUs in the system
and use them as primary scheduling domain,
- `powersave`: automatically detect the slowest CPUs in the system and
use them as primary scheduling domain.
The current logic only supports creating two groups: fast and slow CPUs.
The fast CPU group is created by excluding CPUs with the lowest
frequency from the overall set, which means that within the fast CPU
group, CPUs may have different maximum frequencies.
When using the `performance` mode the fast CPUs will be used as primary
domain, whereas in `powersave` mode, the slow CPUs will be used instead.
This option is particularly useful in hybrid architectures (with P-cores
and E-cores), as it allows the use of bpfland to prioritize task
scheduling on either P-cores or E-cores, depending on the desired
performance profile.
Example:
- Dell Precision 5480
- CPU: 13th Gen Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-13800H
- P-cores: 0-11 / max freq: 5.2GHz
- E-cores: 12-19 / max freq: 4.0GHz

RUST SCHEDULERS
Introduction
This directory contains schedulers with user space rust components.
The README in each scheduler directory provides some background and describes the types of workloads or scenarios they're designed to accommodate. For more details on any of these schedulers, please see the header comment in their main.rs or *.bpf.c files.
