This isn't as "CPU-based" as I had hoped, just metaphorically taking the idea of Performance and Efficiency cores from the Core i5. The simulated warehouse has a Performance zone, with ground-level storage for items that are needed frequently, an Efficiency Zone, with high-density racks for low-frequency items, and a Shared Zone for mid-frequency items and overflow. The simulation showed that this idea worked best, but the paper doesn't investigate why.
- skavi 1y agoNo issue with your analysis, but it’s a bit odd to say the “idea of Performance and Efficiency cores” is from the Core i5. First, the i5 is a tier in Intel’s product stack and doesn’t refer to any specific generation. Core iX series processors have existed since 2009 and have started using (general purpose) heterogeneous cores only fairly recently (2020). Second, I think most would credit ARM’s big.LITTLE tech (introduced in 2011) for the increase in popularity of these types of heterogeneous (general purpose) cores on modern SoCs.

- skavi 1y agoMy bad. My comment then should be seen as directed to the authors of the paper rather than the user I replied to. I am less concerned with the “stolen valor” than I am with the metaphor being somewhat nonsensical due to its reference to the i5 line. “Recent Intel processors” would have been perfectly fine. Given this paper was only posted here because it makes that connection to heterogeneous processor architectures, I think it’s fair to comment on.
