Since the article is more than 5 years old, it would be interesting to find out what became of their efforts. The GitHub repo linked in the article (https://github.com/jplozi/wastedcores https://github.com/jplozi/wastedcores) was last active in December 2017, and apparently contains some bugfixes, however with the caveat "The provided patches fix the issues encountered with our workloads, but they are not intended as generic bug fixes. They may have unwanted side effects and result in performance loss or energy waste on your machine." Did this result in any scheduling bugfixes that actually made it into the Linux kernel?
