In previous generations of Power processors each core had a private L2 cache. The Power 9 processor has a slightly different design where the L2 cache is shared among pairs of cores rather than being completely private. Making the scheduler aware of this cache sharing allows the scheduler to make better migration decisions. For example, if two CPU heavy tasks share a core then one task can be migrated to the paired core to improve throughput. Under the existing three level topology the task could be migrated to any core on the same chip, while with the new topology it would be preferentially migrated to the paired core so it remains cache-hot.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
