Description

This is a continuation of the similarly titled talk from last year and will focus on the remaining open items.
https://lpc.events/event/16/contributions/1195/

Running a workload on VM results in very disparate CPUfreq/sched behavior compared to running the same workload on the host. This difference in CPUfreq/sched behavior can cause significant power/performance regression (on top of virtualization overhead) for a workload when it is run on a VM instead of the host.

We've already sent out v3 of the patch series we want to land, but that design still leave a lot of performance/power on the table. This talk will discuss any remaining issues and proposals on how we can solve them.
