Hi, I found an interesting problem, scheduling on Asymmetric multi-core processor. According to this paper, http://portal.acm.org/citation.cfm?id=1362694&dl=GUIDE&coll=GUIDE&CFID=28487975&CFTOKEN=68150071 taking performance asymmetry into consideration on multi-core CPUs can improve scheduler performance. (And I think discarding this could have bad consequences.) So I have a question: Is the current scheduler of Linux aware of possible performance asymmetry of the cores? By performance asymmetry I mean a case where different cores run on different frequencies. If something tackling this issue is not implemented yet, I would like to work on that as a project of Google's summer of code.
