Try orbstack
- mhrmsn 3y agoDoes it make use of the E cores on Apple Silicon?
- sgerenser 3y agoSince all docker implementations use a VM on Mac, and according to this article VMs only use P-Cores, I have to assume it only uses the P cores.
- astrange 3y agoThis article is based on an M1 Max but I think M2 Max behaves differently here since it has more E-cores. Don't quote me though.
- kdrag0n 3y ago(dev here) Yes. I've spent quite a bit of time on scheduling. It's more nuanced than what this article says and there are ways to influence it (but sorry, can't share too many details). OrbStack tends to use E cores more than other virtualization-based apps do on Apple Silicon, especially for heavy workloads.
- miohtama 3y agoThank you! This is really interesting, will give OrbStack a test drive.
- MrRolleyes 3y agoOrbstack still seems to rely on docker's virtualization. We need something better than docker to improve on this.
- piperswe 3y agoOrbstack runs Docker inside its own lightweight VM. It doesn't use any of Docker Desktop's virtualization. I'm not sure if it handles scheduling any better though.
