Subject: Re: [RFC PATCH v2 0/2] sched/fair: Choose the CPU where short task is
 running during wake up

Hello Chenyu,

I've tested v2 series on an dual socket Zen3 system (2 x 64C/128T) and
the results are largely positive.

tl;dr

o Hackbench results are mostly similar with tip.
o schbench sees improvements to tail latency when the system is
  loaded in NPS1 case but I do see one small regression for
  128 workers in NPS4 mode.
o tbench sees small gains in NPS2 and NPS4 mode
o Stream and Spec-JBB results remain same as the tip.
o ycsb-mongodb sees small gains in NPS2 and NPS4 mode.
o unixbench results see small to moderate gains overall.

I'll leave the detailed results below:

Following are the results from running standard benchmarks on a
dual socket Zen3 (2 x 64C/128T) machine configured in different
NPS modes.

NPS Modes are used to logically divide single socket into
multiple NUMA region.
Following is the NUMA configuration for each NPS mode on the system:

NPS1: Each socket is a NUMA node.
    Total 2 NUMA nodes in the dual socket machine.

    Node 0: 0-63,   128-191
    Node 1: 64-127, 192-255

NPS2: Each socket is further logically divided into 2 NUMA regions.
    Total 4 NUMA nodes exist over 2 socket.
   
    Node 0: 0-31,   128-159
    Node 1: 32-63,  160-191
    Node 2: 64-95,  192-223
    Node 3: 96-127, 223-255

NPS4: Each socket is logically divided into 4 NUMA regions.
    Total 8 NUMA nodes exist over 2 socket.
   
    Node 0: 0-15,    128-143
    Node 1: 16-31,   144-159
    Node 2: 32-47,   160-175
    Node 3: 48-63,   176-191
    Node 4: 64-79,   192-207
    Node 5: 80-95,   208-223
    Node 6: 96-111,  223-231
    Node 7: 112-127, 232-255

Benchmark Results:

Kernel versions:
- tip:          5.19.0 tip sched/core
- sis_short: 	5.19.0 tip sched/core + this series

When we started testing, the tip was at:
commit fdf756f71271 ("sched: Fix more TASK_state comparisons")

Note: For lower worker count, schbench can show run to
run variation depending on external factors. Regression
for lower worker count can be ignored. The results are
included to spot any large blow up in the tail latency
for larger worker count.

Note: On the tested kernel, with 128 clients, tbench can
run into a bottleneck during C2 exit. More details can be
found at:
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/20220921063638.2489-1-kprateek.nayak@amd.com/
This issue has been fixed in v6.0 but was not part of the
tip kernel when I started testing. This data point has
been rerun with C2 disabled to get representative results.

Except for schbench with 128 workers in NPS4 mode, I do not
see any large regressions for the above workloads and I do
see small to moderate gains overall for most workload, even
the larger ones. I'll try to get data for more workload but
overall the idea seems promising. I'll also get some numbers
with the changes Peter suggested on Patch 1.

If there is any specific workload you would like me to run
on the test machine, please do let me know.
