Can they continue using a substance deemed by lawmakers to be fit for public consumption, even if they may have an employer who might drug test? Or do they avoid it all together, because they don’t know what their employer’s drug policy is? And does that policy include only “hard” drugs like cocaine, opioids or methamphetamines, or does it test for cannabis too? These days, the answer is a lot more flexible than it was

Scheduling on Hybrid CPUs Contact: OlivierCertner Motivation For the amd64 architecture, Intel started shipping hybrid CPUs with the rather confidential Lakefield and then more massively with Alder Lake (Gen12). Apart from some models of Alder Lake, it is now impossible to buy an Intel chip that does not have at least P (Performance) and E (Efficiency) cores.
