The feature improves performance on modern CPUs with multiple last-level caches by colocating tasks that share data within the same LLC domain, reducing cache misses and bouncing. It has shown significant gains on AMD EPYC and Intel Xeon 6 server-class processors. The code has been merged into the TIP sched/core branch, making it likely to be submitted during the Linux 7.2 merge window in mid-June. A runtime toggle via DebugFS will allow users to enable or disable the feature for debugging and performance comparisons. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
