This should be CONFIG_HZ=250 and CONFIG_HZ=1000, is it wrong? It seems that no performance difference is good news. This change will not affect performance. This problem was first found in the openeuler 6.6 kernel. If one task runs all the time and the other runs for 3ms and then sleeps for 1us, the running time of the two tasks will become 4:3, but 1:1 on orig cfs. This problem has disappeared in the mainline kernel. > o Benchmark results (CONFIG_HZ=1000) > > ================================================================== > Test : hackbench > Units :

bit on low load. It seems that slice should not only be related to the number of cpus, but also to the corresponding relationship between the overall load and the number of cpus. The load is relatively heavy, so the slice should be smaller. The load is relatively light, so the slice should be larger. Fixing it to a value may not be the optimal solution. > With that overwhelming amount of data out of the way, please feel free > to add: > > Tested-by: K Prateek Nayak <kprateek.nayak@....com> I think you're worth it, but it seems a bit late. I have received the email of tip-bot2, I am not sure if there can still add it. Your email made me realize that I should establish a systematic testing method. Can you give me some useful projects? Thanks!
