What's the point of the cores check below? And how to deal with big.LITTLE CPUs?

We use this Library in JDK 8 on one dedicated server whose CPU is Intel i5-13500 and this CPU uses big.LITTLE architecture. It has 6 Performance cores(which implements HyperThread Technology and can be thought as two cores) and 8 Efficient cores. That is, the total of logic cores is 6*2 + 8 = 20 and the total of logic cores is 6+8=14.

If we use CPUAffinity to bind CPU core, we will have one exception which tells that the cores do not match: "java.lang.AssertionError: cpuDetails.size= 20 != sockets: 1 * coresPerSocket: 14 * threadsPerCore: 2"

I think it is due to this line: https://github.com/OpenHFT/Java-Thread-Affinity/blame/9a9148f9f5073cb4c8ff4a59804d3f7c74d84ce2/affinity/src/main/java/net/openhft/affinity/impl/VanillaCpuLayout.java#L55

Maybe the threadspercore should not multiple all the cores.

What's the point of this check and how to deal with this exception?
