In the server, if some workload which will create lot of

For example, the Specjbb may have better performance:
     Critical-jops : 26%
     Max-jops      : 7%

So enable it by default.

From what I've seen, SCHED_CLUSTER seems to be a bit of give and take depending on benchmark and machine. I'm not sure if it should be default enabled or not, but it would really be nice to have at least a larger sweep of benchmarks/machines in order to be sure of the decision.

Yes, I agree.

Maybe I should create a patch only enable SCHED_CLUSTER for Ampere's machine.


Thanks
