I think that it means the scheduler settings which try to control core and hyper-threading usage.

There are two of them. I think one controls if threads are concentrated on one core until it is overloaded, or spread out to all cores evenly. The other one is similar but controls if threads are scheduled on hyperthread siblings first, or scheduled on really separate cores.
