Subject: Re: [PATCH v2 8/8] sched/pelt: Introduce PELT multiplier

Hello Qais Yousef,

We ran few benchmarks with PELT multiplier patch on a Snapdragon 8Gen2
based internal Android device and we are observing significant
improvements with PELT8 configuration compared to PELT32.

Following are some of the benchmark results with PELT32 and PELT8
configuration:

Please let us know if you need any support with running any further
workloads for PELT32/PELT8 experiments, we can help with running the
experiments.

Thank you,
