Description

Intel has introduced new mobile chips in Q3 2023 previously codenamed "Meteor Lake" now called "Core Ultra. An example SKU is the Core Ultra 155H that can be found on many laptops.

Does anyone know if rr runs well / has any issues on Meteor Lake ? This is a slightly unusual generation because there are three kinds of cores - Performance, Efficiency and Low Power Efficiency cores. Apparently all (?) programs first go on the low power efficiency cores before being promoted to other cores.

This "promotion" from the Low power Efficiency cores is probably not something that rr would like, I'm guessing. I don't know if its possible to directly place rr directly on a core without going through this promotion business.

Has anybody used rr on the latest Meteor Lake laptops ? Feedback ?

Research direction

The issue names no file, test, or entry point. Begin by checking rr behavior on an Intel Core Ultra 155H/Meteor Lake laptop under Linux, focusing on its Performance, Efficiency, and Low Power Efficiency cores. Done would require documented compatibility findings or a clearly reproducible problem and an agreed change.
