Hi Daniel,
I have looked at your results and i'm a bit surprised that you have so
much time in C-state with a test that involved 400 tasks on a dual
cores HT system. You shouldn't have any CPUs in idle state when
running hackbench; the total time of core0state in C7-IVB is
87932131.00(us), which is quite huge for a bench that runs 44sec. Or
i'm doing something wrong in the interpretation of the results ?
Regards,
Vincent
