With the current scheduler this may perform poorly for applications that try to do OpenMP style work over all cores but should help for more common workloads. The current 32 bit ARM implementation provides a similar estimate so this helps ensure that work to improve big.LITTLE systems on ARMv7 systems performs similarly on ARMv8 systems. The power numbers are the same as for ARMv7 since it seems that the expected differential between the big and little cores is very similar on both ARMv7 and ARMv8. In both ARMv7 and ARMv8 cases the numbers were based on the published DMIPS numbers. These numbers are just an initial and basic approximation for use with the current scheduler, it is likely that both experience with silicon and ongoing work on improving the scheduler will lead to further tuning or will tune automatically at runtime and so make the specific choice of numbers here less critical.
