Subject: [PATCH v5 2/3] proc: add AVX-512 usage elapsed time to /proc/pid/status
Date: Mon, 17 Dec 2018 02:50:20 +0800	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20181216185021.16912-2-aubrey.li@intel.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20181216185021.16912-1-aubrey.li@intel.com>

AVX-512 components use could cause core turbo frequency drop. So
it's useful to expose AVX-512 usage elapsed time as a heuristic hint
for the user space job scheduler to cluster the AVX-512 using tasks
together.

Example:
$ cat /proc/pid/status | grep AVX512_elapsed_ms
AVX512_elapsed_ms:	1020

The number '1020' denotes 1020 millisecond elapsed since last time
context switch the off-CPU task using AVX-512 components, thus the
task could cause core frequency drop.

Or:
$ cat /proc/pid/status | grep AVX512_elapsed_ms
AVX512_elapsed_ms:	-1

The number '-1' indicates the task didn't use AVX-512 components
before thus unlikely has frequency drop issue.

User space tools may want to further check by:

$ perf stat --pid <pid> -e core_power.lvl2_turbo_license -- sleep 1

 Performance counter stats for process id '3558':

     3,251,565,961      core_power.lvl2_turbo_license

       1.004031387 seconds time elapsed

Non-zero counter value confirms that the task causes frequency drop.
