"Intel Thread Director Virtualization Patches Improve Workloads by 14%"
Originally Published 1 year ago — by Phoronix
Intel has released patches to enhance the performance of virtual machines (VMs) running on Intel hybrid platforms by enabling Thread Director Virtualization, resulting in a 14% performance improvement in Windows VMs running 3DMark benchmark. The patches aim to improve task placement between P and E cores, particularly for running a Linux host on Intel Core hardware with Microsoft Windows VM guests. The work is focused on enabling ITD-based scheduling logic in Guest for better task scheduling on Intel hybrid platforms, and it is hoped that this support will be integrated into the Linux kernel in the future.
