But I agree a The precondition of this is testing the benchmark properly. And I just tried perf bench sched in noisy OS, I didn't get the similar abnormal variance as you got, so I think your run3 result was CA53's result. This isn't an apple-to-apple comparison. If possible, could you plz test after forcing CA53 offline or test on non big.little platform. Anyway, I will test CA73 next week too. > clean test env is important to avoid noise, and I also agree that the > current results already show positive signals. > > Thanks, > Leo _______________________________________________ linux-riscv mailing list linux-riscv@lists.infradead.org http://lists.infradead.org/mailman/listinfo/linux-riscv
