Discussion on parallelization (threads) using Performance cores vs. Efficiency cores

This becomes an issues with MPI workers with synchronized parallelism. There are "14 core" laptops with two P-cores and 12 E-cores. I have seen project teams that configure their programs (say via enviornment variables) to only use the P-cores, but this can lead to a performance drop vs. their much older all P-core computer.
