Yicong,

Have you tried any workload where tasks don't share data
with each other but have sleep/wakeup?  That's the case
where we actually want to spread the tasks out among the clusters
to void contention for L2 cache.

Will be nice to make sure there's no regression there for
such workload.

Code itself looks good.
