Mainly: CONFIG_NO_HZ_FULL=y CONFIG_RCU_NOCB_CPU_ALL=y
Using cgroups / cpu pinnning, the cores won't have to handle any kernel tick, but only run qemu For my i7 4790k, i am force to put vm on 3 threads (the main of my 3 cores). So kernel parameter: nohz_full=1,2,3,5,6,7 rcu_nocbs=1,2,3,5,6,7 and my vm run on threads 1,2,3 (main thread of cores 1,2,3) and qemu emulator run on threads 5,6,7 (sub threads of cores 1,2,3) Amd cards seems more affected by DPC than nvidia ones. Note an interesting thing: http://www.guru3d.com/articles-pages/rise-of-the-tomb-raider-pc-graphics-performance-benchmark-review,9.html amd and multi cores is... erratic :) -- Deldycke Quentin On 26 February 2016 at 09:53, Rokas Kupstys <[email protected]> wrote: > Could you elaborate on config differences?
