摘要: A computer system for conserving operating power includes a number of hardware processor cores that differ amongst themselves in at least their respective requirements and processing capabilities. monitor gathers performance metric information from each the is specific to particular run application software then executing. workload transfer mechanism transfers executing second core search reduced power. delay connected subsequent if may be conserved by such delay.
