Add a chapter about scikit-learn-intelex

[Vika-F]

Add information about sklearnex configurations that can provide better performance.

Some comments:

• Could make it clear that OMP settings related to affinity will not have an effect.
• Could provide commands to do all of this programmatically instead of manually listing the core IDs after looking at output.
• This advise is not really specific to sklearnex. Maybe could be put as an additional section and then linked from all the relevant articles, like NumPy and scikit-learn.

It doesn't explain the longevity of the effect from this command. Same for the other CPU settings.

Ok, will do.

You mean, python commands doing the same things like affinity modification?

Yes, I thought about it as well, but was not sure. I will restructure the pages accordingly.

I guess they'd have to be shell commands, otherwise they wouldn't have an effect on an already-launched python process.

I understand the idea, but it will be a multi-line script for sure. Not a single sed .... Will it be Ok? I mean, I do not see similar code in the other chapters.

@Vika-F isn't there any built-in numactl command do something like "run only physical cores"?

No, there is no such option.

@david-cortes-intel An example of a script that runs a process only on physical nodes:
run_no_ht.sh

For me it looks too heavy for the page like this. What do you think?

@Vika-F How about something in a pipeline (perhaps with awk?) getting the result from lscpu with arguments, filtering, and selecting a column?
