Hi,
In preparation for a Connect LAS16 hacking sessions, I've been trying to compare schedfreq with schedutil with EAS on Hikey running Android 4.4. In the document below you can view some preliminary results of what I found. Please excuse the brevity; I'm sure way more comments would be needed to make the document more understandable, but I hope it's still useful and I wanted to share it as soon as possible. Please don't hesitate to ask for more information or clarifications (best is by commenting directly on the document, I think).

tl;dr;
- merging pain wasn't so bad - schedutil relatively close to schedfreq and interactive (even if high percentiles seems to be quite off): perf is lower, but saving some energy - schedutil driven by WALT generally improves figures (but not that much) - it remains to see the amount of work required to put schedtune on top of schedutil
Best,
- Juri
