Patch sets: rlb-v4: sched: use runnable load based balance (Alex Shi) https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/4/27/13
Thanks for the valuable comparison!
The runnable load balance target is performance. It is still try to disperse tasks to as much as possible CPUs. :) The latest v7 version remove the 6th patch(wake_affine change) in v4. and plus fix a slept time double counting issue, and remove blocked_load_avg in tg load. http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.kernel/1498988
Even the rlb patch set target is performance, Maybe the power benefit is due to better balancing?
Anyway I appreciate if you like to test the latest v7 version. :) https://github.com/alexshi/power-scheduling.git runnablelb
