Method for optimizing voltage-frequency setup in multi-core processor systems

A computer-readable medium having computer-executable instructions, comprising:

• ascertaining a first plurality of processor cores from a second plurality of processor cores provided in a multi-core processor, the first plurality of processor cores being operatively switched on;
• identifying a processor core having a lowest operating frequency from among the first plurality of processor cores;
• and
• based on a predefined functional mode, adjusting at least one operational parameter according to predetermined voltage-frequency characteristics corresponding to the identified processor core.
